AT CAPACITY – Fantastical Felt Paintings Workshop

Event Categories:

Fantastical Felt Paintings

What magical scene resides in your dreams? A snow-filled landscape, a colorful creature, or gardens galore? In this program, we will bring our visions to life in whimsical felted “paintings”! We’ll learn about dry needle felting: what fibers work best, layering techniques, and how to create texture. There will be lots of hues to choose from, so we can let our imaginations run wild! This meditative fiber workshop is designed to tap into each participant’s inner artist and gently guide attention to the present moment. No prior experience with felting is required. 
Limited to 15 participants. Email for registration to info@stockbridgelibrary.org
