Grades 3+
Tuesdays 4:00 - 5:00pm
Jan 12 - March 23
Instructor - Hailey Peirce
$180
Students will learn exciting needle-felting techniques to create three-dimensional animals or creatures out of different colors of soft wool roving. Using felting needles to shape woolly animal bodies with eyes, legs, ears and tails, students will build skills to bring their imaginations to life. In the end, these soft sculptures can become part of a hanging mobile piece or turn into a bigger sculpture project-- both avenues will be explored and demonstrated in this course.

Embroidering Nature
Grades 4+

Jan 20 - March 31
Instructor - Hailey Pierce
$180
In this course, students will learn a variety of decorative embroidery stitches to make a rich canvas on fabric of elements found in nature such as flowers, leaves, berries, and stars.

Students will also learn different methods for hand drawing designs based on natural objects and transferring these sketches to fabric. This class will combine both basic and intermediate stitching as well as basic drawing skills; beginner embroidery/hand sewing skills recommended (tying a knot, threading needles, basic straight stitching).
