Mini Gnome & Mushroom

Gnomes have been a popular class here for the last few years. Their whimsical form just makes you smile. We decided to take a new approach to the gnome class by shrinking the sculptures and adding a second sculpture - a mushroom. You can either set these mini pieces on a shelf or mount on a stick and place in a potted plant.

Instructor: Farren Maillie

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!
