Needle Felting Finishing & Techniques
Class Description: Have you ever wondered about or left your needle felting class having more questions than when you started? Well … this is the class for you! We are going to try and answer some of your questions regarding better execution of your needle felting art and whatever else you can think of regarding the projects that you have either done or are contemplating.

We will discuss techniques, equipment, fiber, etc. The only requirement for this class is that each student must bring a question regarding their needle felting. Please write down the question so you make sure that it is answered. All questions lead to answers… and more questions! If you would like, you can bring a piece that you have done and are still trying to complete and we can all benefit from solving some of the issues you might be having.

I will be bringing some work in progress to try and use to answer your questions without disturbing your work. We will also be building towards a continued Study Group that will be available for you to bring works in progress (WIP) or unfinished works in progress (UFO) that we can work on together to try and finish them: or, if you have a new idea floating around, we can try and get you started.

Note: This is a lecture and Q&A session. You will not be completing a project in this class.
