In this 2-hour workshop, led by local artist Valerie French, you will quickly learn some basic techniques, to create a 6” X 6” work of felted art. We will begin with wool roving, and practice dying, wet-felting, needle felting and embellishing. While all supplies will be provided, it would be helpful if you bring some supplies if you have them, or would like to purchase them to continue your creations at home.

Supplies will include:
10” cardboard squares
10” bubble wrap squares
10” plastic canvas squares
10” rug canvas squares
hand towels
reusable kitchen gloves
scissors
plastic grocery bags (for transporting artwork)
a rough sketch of your design
wool roving
dye
felting needles – medium size
sewing needles – long, medium
thread – (for beads & stitching)
embellishments (such as animal-fiber yarn, small beads, buttons, tiny twigs, raffia, etc.)

Cost for the workshop is $5.00 per person. Fees must be paid to the YSSC by the Friday preceding the workshop. To register, please call or email Corinne Pelzl at (937) 767-5751, cpelzl@ysseniors.org.
