Workshop: Hand-Felted Birdhouse

Spring has sprung and the birds are returning once more! In this one-day intensive workshop, you’ll use the art of needle felting to create your own unique bird house, perfect for your feathered friends!

You will learn how to wet felt hollow three dimensional forms and how to embellish those forms through needle felting. Once learned, this technique can be applied to making hats, shoes, bowls and more! Felted wool has natural water proof qualities, retains heat and has been used by humans for over thousands of years.

This workshop begins at 10am sharp at the Mabee Farm Education Center and should conclude by 2pm. Expert felting artist Mallory Zondag will guide participants through the entire process. The registration fee covers all materials costs. Just come prepared to learn and have fun!
