Sculptural Needle Felting with STEPHANIE METZ
In this workshop, students will learn to use simple tools and methods to shape wool fibers into free-standing, solid felt sculptures. Topics include basic form-building, fine detailing, adding color, incorporating mixed media, and working with armatures. Class time will include slideshows, daily demonstrations, and one-on-one instruction with lots of hands-on work time. Please note that needle felting involves repetitive, physical hand and arm exercise.
