Beginning Felting: Ducks and Grebes and Loons, oh my!

Explore the incredible diversity of North American waterfowl through needle-felting! This course is ideal for those both interested in learning about our native ducks, loons, grebes and other water-associated bird species, and learning beginner felting techniques. Students will work with the instructor to create small (no more than 2-3 in. long), three-dimensional bird sculptures. In addition, participants will receive bountiful unsolicited facts about our local birds from the instructor!

Level: Beginning

Member: $100

Non-Member: $120

Instructor: Daniel Baron

Material Fee: $25

Materials provided by teacher: Wool, felting needles and workpad.

Students must bring: Felting pads and needles if they already have them. If so, materials fee is $15. If students are looking to get their own needles or work pads, both Local Cloth and Earth Guild have stock. I recommend getting at least one of each of the individually packaged needles from Earth Guild. The foam block at either Earth Guild or Local Cloth will be sufficient for learning but students could also purchase pads from online stores. The felted wool working pads are the best but are only sold online and are pricier.
