Intro to Needle Felting – Alyson Scott
HALF-DAY WORKSHOP – October 5, 2025 | 1 pm – 4 pm
Explore your creativity and the meditative qualities of painting with wool. Participants will learn about various kinds of wool and discover the magic of turning wool into art! Needle felting is a soothing and satisfying fiber art that uses barbed needles to sculpt wool into beautiful scenes and textures. In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of felting while creating your own wool “painting” of a scenic landscape — no experience needed! The instructor will provide samples and walk participants through the needle-felting process, with step by step instructions to create your piece. At the end of the workshop participants will be given options for framing or ideas for displaying the finished work.
