Felted Folk Flowers Painting

Join textile artist Kayla Ann for an evening of creativity and hands-on fun while learning the art of needle felting a 2-D felted folk flower bouquet. Using a piece of felt as the canvas and wool roving as the paint, Kayla will guide students through the fundamentals of this relaxing craft, teaching how to “paint” with wool and sculpt beautiful blooms from fiber. Whether you’re new to needle felting or looking to expand your skills, students will leave with the skills, tools, and inspiration to keep needle felting beyond the online workshop. Kayla will provide a design to help the class get started, but feel free to bring pictures or drawings for inspiration. Leave class with a painterly bouquet of vibrant flowers in wool and the confidence to explore needle felting further.
