Fall Pumpkins or Jack O'Lanterns

Pumpkins are by far the most well attended Needle Felting classes that we have held over the years Why? Pumpkins make great decor throughout the fall season and they are very easy to make. In this class you can choose to craft a pumpkin or add a face in a few simple steps.

Needle felting is a process that sculpts wool into any shape you imagine. Wool fibers are covered with scales. In needle felting we use special barbed needles that lock the scales of the fiber together through agitation. What this looks like in real time, is stabbing fluffy colorful wool over and over with sharp needles. We will be using a variety of fibers for this project. This is a beginner friendly class.

Classes are held in the comfort of our converted double bay garage. It is on the street level and equipped with a powder room. If the class is full we may ask you to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk up the short distance past the alpaca fields. We have a farm shop on the property that you are also welcome to visit. Feel free to BYOB or snacks. Pictures and fun are encouraged!
