In this 4 lesson course we will create two needle felted projects! I will be demonstrating the projects and techniques in a series of step-by-step videos every week. In this class we will make a flat landscape artwork and a 3D animal. No prior knowledge is needed. This class does require use of a needle felting needle. This needle is sharp- please make sure your learner is suited for this level of safety. I have included links to the materials I will be using in my demonstration. Lesson 1: Needle Felted Landscape- This lesson we will work on the background layers of our landscape. Lesson 2: Needle Felted Landscape- This lesson we will finish this project. This week will focus on final layers and details. Lesson 3: Needle Felted Animal- This lesson we will create the "skeleton" for the animal and base layers. Lesson 4: Needle Felted Animals-This lesson we will finish the animals. This will will focus on details and finish.

I have taught high school art for 18 years! Last year I had the opportunity to teach middle school students remotely and loved it! I have taught a variety of courses over my career such as: Fine Arts 1 & 2, Introduction to Photography, Pottery 1 & 2, Introduction to Jewelry, Introduction to Crafts, Introduction to Sculpture, Design 1 & 2.
I believe creating art is a process. It takes making a mess, mistakes and trying again! Creating art is a method of communication with the world!
When I'm not creating art, I love cooking, reading, spending time with friends & family!Reviews
