Learn to needle felt! 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. This workshop is part of Craft Collective’s 2nd annual Fiber Fest! Join in the main day of festivities on Saturday, June 14th, for a day filled with fiber fun! It’ll be a vibrant celebration of natural textiles and sustainability, bringing together fiber artists, artisans, sustainability advocates, and local farmers. On June 14th, we’ll host a live demonstration of sheep shearing, more live artist-artisan demonstrations, interactive craft for families, artist vendors, food and more. This event is designed to build community within the Southern California Fibershed, showcasing the journey of natural textiles from sheep to finished fabric.
