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.\nWe will continue to make wool dryer balls for your home dryer! This is a great time to try needle felting if you’ve never been before. What are “dyer balls”? Reusable natural balls that you toss in the dryer with wet clothes to naturally soften fabric\, reduce static\, decrease wrinkles\, and shorten drying time.\nIf you are already familiar with needle felting\, you will be able to continue to expand your skills with new technique and design. \nThis is a FREE program and all material will be supplied.\nAges: 18+ (adults)\nLocation: Meeting Room A\nTime: 1-3pm\nRegistration is required.
