COURSE DESCRIPTION
​
Join us for a fun afternoon of learning how to needle felt with artist and designer Michelle Provencal of Thirdlee & Co. In this hands-on 3 hour introductory course, you will create a life-like mussel shell ornament in felted wool. The class will cover the basics of needle felting in two stages: sculpting a 3D shape and 2D color application using a needle. Students will add final touches by hand sewing embellishments.
This course is designed to equip you with the basic knowledge, confidence and a materials list to continue needle felting at home!
