Needle-Felted Pumpkins

Tuesday, September 26. 7 - 9PM [Julie Brown]
Have you been wanting to try your hand at needle felting? Or perhaps you have some experience but would like to add some more advanced techniques. In this one-nighter, you will make a 3 dimensional needle-felted pumpkin sculpture that is perfect for beginners. In addition, you will learn techniques and approaches to make facial features that you can add to your pumpkin or just try out on a separate piece of felting. Students will learn to use felting needles, and various types of wool including core wool, top coat, and locks. You will also learn about ways to add additional color to your needle-felted creations. Starting with a hunk of core roving, students will craft the basic form of the pumpkin, creating segments with wool yarn. They will add a stem and tendrils. If desired students will add a face to their pumpkin or may choose to leave it as is and try a face separatley. Either way you will take home with a charming fall decoration for your home.
