SUMMARY:Felting Class
DESCRIPTION:Felting is one of the oldest forms of textile arts. Needle felting begins by rolling a small amount of wool and stabbing it with a needle. It is a quick hobby to learn\, and many find it stress-relieving. This month we are meeting on the second Thursday of the month (January 8th) as BMPL is closed on our “regular” day .\nWe will start the New Year going back to Needle Felting basics. This is a great time to try needle felting if you’ve never been before. January’s Snowflake project will allow you to learn what needle felting is\, how it is done\, and provide the foundation for future projects. \nIf you are already familiar with needle felting\, you will be able to continue to expand your skills with new technique and design. \nAll material will be supplied. We will meet inside the library (ROOM A).\nPlease join us for this NO cost adult program (18 years and older). Join at any time.\nRegistration is REQUIRED for this program. Fill out the form below.
