Class Content: You will learn to create a painting on 100% wool felt, with wool as your paints and barbed, specialized needles as your brushes. Needle felting involves coaxing wool where you want it to go with the barbed, felting needles. The poking causes friction and friction causes the scales on wool fibers to knit together. You will be provided a transfer of my own drawing to copy onto your wool backing. So, no need for drawing skills. You will learn to make thin lines in your work and add highlights among other techniques. All your supplies are provided to create your fall needle felted painting. The completed painting will fit into a standard 12 in by 12 in square frame and a matt that can be bought at Michael’s. There is no need for glass. Wool repels dust. All you need to bring is a lunch and your enthusiasm! I think you will find this a relaxing medium.
