Class Experience

Beginner Level
This is a fun intro class to the cool process of needle felting also known as wool painting. This is a dry felting process using a barbed needle and wool roving to create a felted Cardinal.  Suggested age is 10 and up due to the sharp barbed needle, dexterity and focus required. The dry felting process of needle felting is achieved by continuously poking and stabbing the pure wool roving which causes the fibers to interlock and felt.

With my guidance students will form and felt his body. 
We will then add his face mask and beak. 
Everything is done using the needle (no glue). 

*Please see Supply List below

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Felting needles are sharp and students must be able to sit still and focus as they work. Finger protectors may be purchased
Supply List
Barbed needles (at least 2 in case of breakage) 
.5 oz packages of wool roving in red, orange and black

A good option is to order a felting kit from Amazon, Etsy, Ebay etc. which should at least have a variety of colors, needles and a felting block

Teacher expertise and credentials
My teaching style: I am a rather introverted artist who teaches....I am told that I am patient, encouraging, focused, firm. I enjoy/work best with older students. I believe my students should be free to put their own creative touches on their work. I have limited experience with special needs students (ADHD, Autism etc) I hope this is helpful as you read through reviews and decide if your learner will be a good fit.
********************************************
My name is Camille Jacks, originally from Jamaica, I have lived in the US since 1991.  I was awarded a portfolio scholarship to attend The Savannah College of Art and Design where I earned a BFA in Computer Art and Animation and graduated Magna Cum Laude.  
My hands are always busy and I love to teach myself new things.  I draw, paint, knit & crochet (have written patterns for magazines) needle felt, dabble in origami, macramé, weaving and sewing.
I started my teaching journey as a Media Specialist at a private Elementary school in 2004 where my little girl attended.  We moved to Georgia in 2007 and I worked for a company as a mobile computer teacher working with Preschool and Elementary school kids at various schools. The business did not survive so I started working for a company teaching art in the after school programs.
Before Coronavirus I was extremely busy teaching my own adult and kids classes and workshops (oil, watercolor and acrylic) at local county fine arts facilities plus Summer Art Camps. I also taught for a year at a Montessori school and simultaneously started my Outschool journey. 
Once in a while I get to do something cool like be a guest demo artist (needle felting) at The High Museum of Art in Atlanta (July 2018).  When I am not working I am a mom to a young adult daughter. a little bunny and a Diamond Dove.
