In this class, we'll learn together and have a blast creating all kinds of fun needle-felting projects. Each week, we'll decide on an exciting project to work on, and I'll guide you through the steps needed to bring that project to life. If you have something else in mind that you'd like to work on during class time, go for it! This class is all about embracing our individual felting creativity, developing skills, and having a great time. You'll be free to personalize your projects and let your creativity run wild. We'll also have a time for "show & tell," where you can proudly display the projects you've created outside of class. It's a chance to showcase your talent, inspire others, and celebrate your creativity! Our class will be casual and conversational, a space where you can relax and connect with fellow needle felting enthusiasts. It's the perfect opportunity to make new friends and share your excitement for this amazing craft. As you progress and hone your needle felting skills, we'll keep the excitement going by introducing more challenging projects. This ongoing class is designed to grow with everyone who participates, constantly adapting to meet your evolving abilities and keep you entertained. No prior needle felting experience is required to join this class. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your skills, this class is the perfect fit. We'll start from the basics and work our way up while having a fantastic time together. So, gather your felting supplies, bring your enthusiasm, and let's embark on a needle felting journey filled with joy, creativity, and endless possibilities. Can't wait to see what we'll create together!

Parental Guidance
Please Note:
In this class we will be using sharp needles to shape fibers... There is a risk that students may poke their fingers! Please consider your child's ability to exercise care and caution, and follow instructions with sharp objects, before enrolling them in this class!!
Supply List
Students will need a beginners needle felting kit (there are many available) that includes several needles, a felting mat, foam, or pillow, and assorted colors of wool roving... I suggest a combination of neutral naturals (for animals) and brights (for flowers and other creative projects that are more colorful!)
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Fine/Studio Arts from Prescott College
I grew up homeschooling in the woods of Maine and along the coastal shores of a small New Jersey island town.
My summers were spent at Girl Scout camp and traveling across the country on scouting adventures primarily focused on the outdoors and history - like a wagon train traversing the North Dakota prairie and hiking & camping along fur trade routes in Wisconsin. As a GS Gold Award recipient, my final project was implementing an outdoor day camp program for Special Olympians - because I have always believed that outdoor learning and fun should be accessible to everyone.
After completing high school, I studied Theology for four years at a small private college and then spent time living in Far East Russia - where I ran camp programs for children in rural villages, youth centers, and inner-city parks.
I have nearly 20 years of experience working in living history museums, where I've demonstrated and taught period crafts and domestic arts, run educational programs and special events, researched and created staff costuming, and was the camp director for one of the few railroad themed summer camps in the USA.
I homeschooled my children from kindergarten through graduation. I've also owned a Montessori school, helped facilitate two Sudbury-inspired learning cooperatives, and founded two inclusive homeschool support groups that offered guidance for parents and a full range of weekly classes for students of all ages.
I received my master-level Forest Kindergarten training from Wauhatchie School / Forest School Teacher Institute - and I am happily at home outside, sharing my love of nature with kids - no matter the weather!
I continued my education after my kids were grown, attending Goddard College until they closed in 2024, then transferring to Prescott College for my final semester, where I completed a BFA in Arts & Letters with a concentration in Socially Engaged Art.
In my "spare time,” I'm a writer, musician, and all-around creative and hobbity sort of person.

I have many years of experience working to create spaces that are safe and inclusive for LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse young people. I enjoy helping all my students learn, share their interests, and practice group social skills. It's always my endeavor to foster a classroom space where everyone can share, be heard, and participate in the most comfortable and enjoyable way for them. I believe in facilitating spaces of kindness, patience, and gentle correction when needed. Please message me if you have concerns about how your child might best be included in and enjoy my classes!
