“Take a stab” at needle felting and go home with one of these adorable (comical, scary, jovial) pumpkins! Needle felting is the process of using a single barbed needle to repeatedly jab alpaca/wool fibers causing the fiber to tangle and become compact into flat pieces or three-dimensional sculptures. Limited only by your imagination, each person's pumpkin face will have his/her own personality which makes this class a ton of fun! You will learn techniques to enable you to make other three dimensional figures as well.
Bring a picture of a celebrity or older person with distinguished features for inspiration!
All materials are included, felting tools and foam surface to work on are provided for use in class.
Most people can handle this class with no trouble, though there are some advanced techniques involved. If you wish to start out with an easier class, you might want to try the Pumpkin Needle Felting Class.
Felting Supplies are also available to purchase should you want to do more needle felting at home.
