Take your needle felting skills to a whole new level by learning the art of 2D needle felting—where wool becomes your paint and felt becomes your canvas!
In this hands-on, creative workshop, you’ll explore foundational techniques to “paint with wool” using your felting needle. Learn how to sweep, edge, and comb with your needle to control your fibers and bring your designs to life.
You’ll also discover the different types of wool you can work with—roving, batting, and raw wool—and how each affects texture and layering in your artwork. By understanding these fibers, you’ll naturally create interesting textures while you work.
Step by step, you’ll learn how to build a design: start by creating a base, lightly layer colors to blend and shade, and add lines and details to bring your landscape or picture together. This class emphasizes the essentials, giving you the confidence to create beautiful 2D wool art without frustration.
✨ All materials provided—just bring your imagination and a love for color and texture!
