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 batting... I suggest a combination of neutral naturals (for animals) and brights (for flowers, plants, fungi, and more colorful animals. I encourage students to work predominantly with wool "batts" rather than "roving" because it has a more easily felted texture - especially for beginners... but either or a combination of both is just fine! 

Students should also have a couple of sheets of felt (I prefer wool, but polyester will work if that's all you can find!) in soft natural colors like blue/green/brown/gray. You can buy this by the piece in craft stores, or a 1/4 yard cut from a bolt at a fabric store will also be plenty!

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!!
