This workshop introduces students to an innovative use of a humble and inexpensive material, through an introduction to the tools, processes, and possibilities of needle-felting. Participants complete a small project to get familiar with the concepts central to this unique art form, and leave with the skills and knowledge to translate their ideas into felt, using simple tools to create three-dimensional, free-standing, solid felt sculpture. Materials fee covers all supplies required to complete a small project including needles, wool, and foam rubber work surface.

1 session. $75; $30 materials fee payable to instructor at first session. Noncredit. Prerequisite: none
This class is geared towards students already versed in the basics of felting with a needle. Bring projects in progress or start a new project - and be prepared to have your questions answered and to learn new tricks. Still working out the pricing (as of 2/11/10); I think it will be that students bring their own projects and materials so there is no official materials fee; but I will have some materials available for purchase (more wool, needles; trying to get my hands on a bunch of brush work surfaces; some wire for armatures, foam rubber, etc)
