Take a midday reset and “paint” using needle felting. Fiber artists can use wool much like pant, building layers, combining textures and even brush strokes to create depth. This workshop makes those basics even simpler by working free form, combining wool with other mixed media like raw silk, bamboo, embroidery thread, lace, and even dried botanicals to form a “stained glass” pendant made entirely of natural materials, encased in glass so it’s safe from the elements. A bite sized foray into the world of using needle felt to create abstract composition!
