  Painterly Needle Felting

  taught by Cynthia Mulvaney

  Bring your creativity to life by painting with wool! In this relaxing, beginner-friendly class, you'll create a beautiful needle-felted artwork with a painterly quality—using colorful wool instead of paint.

  Needle felting is a quiet, meditative art form where layers of soft wool are carefully placed with a barbed needle to build color, texture, and depth. Like painting with a brush, you'll blend and layer wool fibers to create a vibrant image, one layer at a time.

  Whether you're completely new to needle felting or have some experience with fiber arts, you'll learn the essential techniques, along with helpful tips and tricks, to create your own unique wool "painting." Along the way, you'll discover how satisfying the process can be as your artwork gradually comes to life.

  By the end of class, you'll leave with a finished felted piece, new skills, and the confidence to continue creating needle-felted paintings on your ow

  All supplies for this class will be provided.
