In this beginner’s needle felting class you’ll learn how to create a core shape, wrap it with roving, and begin basic needle felting. You’ll then learn how to create round shapes for eyes, and techniques for adding whatever details you choose. Needle felting is an easy-to-learn technique and is not difficult. It just takes time and lots of poking with a barbed needle which tangles the fibers together, in order to shape and sculpt the natural fiber.
