Description

"Explore needle felting, and make a hot pad with your work. This craft requires no prior skills. Needle felting is fun, easy, relaxing and appropriate for ages 10 to 110.

“Needle felting” is a technique using one or more felting needles and fiber (roving) to create flat felt or felt sculpture. Needle felting is a relatively new craft developed in the early 1980’s by artisans David & Eleanor Stanwood using a tool from the woolen mill industry.

Felt, the oldest textile fabric, dates back as far back as 6300 BC. It is created from wool or other animal fibers that are densely matted together. Felting predates spinning, weaving or knitting and for centuries, this non-woven fabric has been used for homes and clothing.

Fee $40 ( includes $8 materials fee)"
