In this class students will create their own round Harbor Seal holiday ornament. These blubbery little marine ornaments are inspired by the harbor seals swimming around the Puget Sound. Students do not need to have prior experience with felting, this is an entry level project. Come learn how to safely use the needle felting tools! All felting supplies will be provided to students, with take-home tools to continue needle-felting on your own! For the youth classes, please plan to arrive 10 minutes before the class is scheduled to begin to check your student in. Needle felting is the process of using specialized barbed needles to sculpt wool fiber. As the needle touches the wool, it grabs onto the fiber and compresses it together turning it into a solid shape.
Appropriate for all skill levels.
Class takes place at Arbutus Folk School, 610 4th Ave E, Olympia.
All materials, tools, and equipment will be provided.
