Creating Art with Wool

Course Summary

Learn how to create a stunning picture using wool fibre and needle felting techniques. In this class we will explore different types of fibre and how to attach them to a felt background in order to create a textured image. You will create your own felted painting and discover different ways it could be displayed. Previous experience in needle felting is an advantage but is not necessary.
