This class is inspired by the vast array of PNW wildflowers but you can use the technique in many different ways. With the unique and beautiful art form of needle felt painting you can make stand alone art, or use it to mend your sweaters or other wool items. Students can choose from a selection of images to replicate or bring their own. No previous felting or drawing experience required!

Act fast, this class fills quickly!

This artist hadn’t touched this particular piece in 4 years and hated all sorts of things about it. Max took one look at it and they spent his October 6 Studio Art Practice session breathing new life in to an old painting. She left pleased and proud!
