In this class we'll be making miniature needle felted mushroom charms that you can turn into earrings or a necklace. Needle felting uses wool roving and special barbed needles to tangle and compress the wool into different shapes. Needle felted charms are super lightweight and durable, which makes them great for jewelry.
AGES:
Ages 12+ are welcome.
SUPPLIES:
Your class fee includes instruction ($40) and all tools/supplies ($10).
INSTRUCTOR:
Emma DuBois is a bilingual French/English, American/Canadian artist who specializes in sculpture. She grew up in Western New York where she was homeschooled. She started needle felting at age 12 after her mother gave her a kit for Christmas. She attended the National Theatre School of Canada in the Set and Costume design program for two years. She also sews, paints, writes poetry, throws pots and sculpts clay, and works with wood. She does needle felting the most because it's easily portable when she travels, but often creates with other art forms when she has the chance!
