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 Gnome. Suggested age is 10 and up due to the sharp barbed needle, focus and dexterity 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. Students will form and felt his body. We will then add make his head Next we will make his hat We will finish him off by adding his nose and beard. Everything is done using the needle (no glue). I will work each step of making the gnome with the class.

I love the feel and look of needle felted items/art and have been doing it for about 4 years. I have offered classes and workshops at various local county Fine Arts facilities and excited to share my love of this art form by offering classes online.Reviews
