Painting with Fleece

Description

Painting with Fleece

Needle felting is a simple needling technique like tattooing with small barbed needles to decorate a wool surface. Here’s where you  ‘paint’ with a barbed needle using ArtWaves amazing array of dyed wool, silk fibers and other embellishments. Needle felting in our spacious studios can be a  meditative experience - it’s like coloring with sheep's fleece. There will be plenty of designs to choose from that are perfect for people who just want to sample this technique or you can get more complex in your design by using your own photos and more tapping.  Along the way, you get to gain skills, gain design experience and experiment with all the colors and textures in ArtWaves abundant stash.  No skill or experience required for this wow workshop. All materials included to make a few coasters or a framable tapestry. $46 ($36 for members)
