Instructor: Debbie Penley
In this class we will cover multiple techniques used in needle felting. We will tackle both 2D and sculptural needle felting, including using a wire-wrapping technique to incorporate wire armature, learning how to create texture including wrinkles, adding fur that looks realistic, and creating backdrops for framed pieces. We will also cover the basics of what makes a needle felt project complete (addressing firmness and loose fibers).
