In this creative and playful workshop, you'll bring a charming sheep scene to life using a combination of piecing, appliqué, and quilting techniques. The final product will be a delightful fiber art scene, perfectly sized to fit in your 8"x10" commercial frame with a 5"x7" mat opening, ready to display in your home or gift to a loved one.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore the art of needle felting as you create beautiful, one-of-a-kind fiber flowers using a selection of luxurious fibers, including hand-dyed Teeswater wool and Suri alpaca locks. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced fiber artist, you’ll enjoy bringing these tactile creations to life.
Explore this exciting technique of wet felting where you paint with colorful layers of sheep’s wool. Learn the basics of constructing beautiful flat felt and let your imagination run wild with textures of silk and curly locks. You’ll leave the class with a beautiful felted landscape ready to display and the knowledge to continue your own felting practice.
