Homeschool Needle felting - Ages 9+

About

Needle Felting Classes (Ages 9+)

Join Cristina for a creative series of needle felting classes designed to teach the art of sculpting with wool. Throughout the term, participants will learn foundational and advanced needle felting techniques while exploring both 2D and 3D projects, developing an understanding of form, structure, texture, detail, and sculpture.

These classes are suitable for beginners through to those with some previous felting experience. No prior experience is required, and individual guidance is provided throughout each session to support participants at their own pace.

Students will have opportunities to develop fine motor skills, creativity, problem-solving, patience, and artistic confidence while creating a range of unique handmade projects.
