| Needle Felted Playscape When: 6 hour class (usually on Saturday or Sunday) This very popular class is great for beginners and experienced felters alike as it provides the greatest number of 3-D construction skills of any class, making students more prepared to create and work on their own designs at home.It is also probably one of the most freeing classes I offer because the opportunity to engage your own creativity is almost limitless. The playmat part of our creations will be about 15 inches square. After hand felting that mat we will then start building our layers of design. Starting with perhaps a cave or fairy glen, tall enough and deep enough for children to really hide their critters and creatures. Maybe some leafy vines growing over the top of the glen, maybe a river or stream rolling through the landscape. How about adding some wonderful stones and rocks around the river and a wooden bridge for crossing to the other side? We can add a meadow of colorful flowers in one corner of our landscape and a mushroom forest in the other. Work from a picture book image or create a wild fantasy of your own. As stated, this class requires NO PREVIOUS FELTING EXPERIENCE. All tools and supplies will be provided for you. The cost for the instructions, foam and needles are included in the tuition. At the end of class we will weigh each playscape and you will pay only for the amount of wool you actually used. The price of the wool will be discounted to $1.50 per ounce when you purchase it during the class. Most playscapes weigh from 7 – 12 ounces. . I also bring extra wool, tools and instruction books for sale, as well as tips for purchasing additional wool on your own. |
