Learn to needle felt! November 16, 2-5 p.m. Oh, butterflies! Fluttering bursts of happy colors! In this class, we will be making a butterfly out of wool, using needle felting techniques. Needle felting is a process where wool fibers are pressed together using long, special needles of different sizes, turning wool into felt. Because of the sharpness of the needles, this class is for students 12+ years old, and guards will be provided. During these three hours we will cut out butterflies from wool felt , “paint” the wings with wool, and shape the body dimensionally. Your butterfly can be turned into a brooch or hung on the walls. No experience necessary. Ages 12+ welcome. Materials fee of $5 (cash only) to be paid to the instructor at the start of the class. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschool funds accepted • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.

You will learn how to throw pottery on a mini wheel and no previous pottery experience is necessary! This is a great way to try wheel throwing and learn how to center clay that is less intimidating and less commitment, and if you love it and want to learn more, the Craft Collective has a variety of weekday evening and weekend full-size ceramic wheel classes to choose from! In this 2-hour class, you will watch step-by-step how to use a mini wheel and will learn how to center the clay and open it up to form tiny pots, bowls, or plates. You will create 1-3 tiny pots over the class period. This class is a great way to learn the basics of a wheel on a small scale. It is also a small class setting, so you can get personalized one-on-one support. At the end of the class you can choose glaze colors, and once your pieces have dried a bit, they will be smoothed, trimmed, glazed and fired for you. Grab a friend or family member who’s been curious about ceramics and come join me in creating tiny pottery! Projects will be ready to pick up 3-4 weeks after class. No experience necessary. Ages 12+ welcome! We recommend that each student bring an apron to wear and an older towel or a cloth rag. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschool funds accepted San Diego Craft Collective on Facebook / Instagram
