Needle felt your very own cheeky frog with fiber artist Chelsea Brown! In this workshop you will learn basic sculptural needle felting techniques as well as a crash course in felting fiber types. Students will leave this class with a base knowledge of how to create simple 3D sculpture and the best types of fiber for felting. Take the guesswork out of your own felting practice and gain a fabulous frog as a bonus! This workshop will be very customizable, so students can really utilize their creativity and make the project their own. While this workshop is great for beginners, due to the customizability of the project it will benefit all skill levels. Important: Felting requires manual dexterity. Note: A $15 materials fee is payable to the instructor in class. Limited to15.
