Needle Felting Workshop with Erin Gardner
Sunday, June 1, 2025
10 am
Nourish Store
87 Milton Avenue, Ballston Spa NY
In this workshop, Erin Gardner of Grey Fox Felting will introduce participants to the wonderfully satisfying process of needle felting as they are guided step-by-step in creating a unique wildflower meadow. This art form involves using a special barbed needle to make repeated pokes into fluffy wool fiber, causing the fibers to tangle and mat together, forming felt. Participants will create a “wool painting” as they needle felt colored bits of wool directly onto a sheet of pure wool felt, creating a beautiful two-dimensional felted landscape. Finished pieces will then be framed in a wood embroidery hoop, ready to hang and enjoy! All materials are included. Ages 12+.
