This class will be about ribbon MANIPULATION, as opposed to ribbon Embroidery. We will NOT be sewing ribbon through fabric but will be forming flowers that can be applied to other things (quilts, clothing, purses, or hats, to name a few). We will form roses, pansies, violets, and fantasy flowers through the use of wire-edged ribbons as well as learning various ruching techniques to gather ribbons into different flower formations. AND the "perfect bow"! It is a fun class with fun results. The techniques have a variety of uses - big and small. And it'll keep your hands busy!
Students to bring: small scissors, to clip threads. small wire snippers (if you have them).
Please bring $16 to pay to instructor for kit materials.

Woolly Woodland: Critters, Mushrooms, and Bees
Wool is a magical and engaging medium. Discover how a tuft of shapeless fiber can be transformed by the poke of a needle into a figure of your imagination.
This class will accommodate beginners and those with some needle felting experience. You will learn basic skills and hone techniques to create sculptures with any degree of detail you desire.
Crafting mushrooms is a fun and forgiving way to discover possibilities and develop skills with needles and wool. It will help you to decide on the next figure you choose to felt.
Choose a critter: an owl, bear, mouse or bunny. Creating your critter will build on the confidence and skills you learn from making your first mushroom.
In the last session, if you are confident enough to go small, you can test your newly acquired talent on a bee or felt a whole colony of bees.
