Time: 1:00 pm to 3 pm

Location: Fiber Festival at Perry – Perry IA

Instructor: Bonnie Ohrt/Fiber Artist/Weaver

Cost: $45 per person

This class is for anyone who would like to create out of wool! We will be creating pictures out of our own Iowa raised Jacob Sheep, Navajo Churro wool, alpaca and llama fiber.

We will begin with basics of needle felting, learning the different qualities between the 3 different species of fiber/wools available in this class: Llama, Alpaca and sheeps wool (our Jacob Sheep and Navajo Churro Wool).

We will then move on towards creating your own Needle felted painting!

No drawing experience necessary. Everyone has their own creativity and style.

Open to all ages – but would request only youth over 8 years (only with parental attendance/guidance) - As we will be working with sharp felting needles.

Cost of class is $45 per person.

(This cost includes a Needle Felting “Starter Kit” – which has a retail value of $30.00!!)

This fee includes cost for all supplies that you will need to complete the project for the day with plenty of supplies left over that you get to take home and continue with your adventures and needle felting artwork!

Included in the supplies provided:

Set of "Homespun family's" basic starter kit. Containing:

*3 basic gauges of Felting needles

* Foam pad

* fiber sampler pack

* felt base

I will have our own additional supplies/Fiber/etc available for purchase at an additional cost.

Felting needles are very sharp, so be advised if youth are interested in attending.
