Artists in the Libraries: Whimsical Felted Botanicals

Whimsical Needle Felted Botanicals Create your own imaginative felted flowers, leaves, mushrooms and nature-inspired forms in this beginner-friendly workshop. Participants will explore color, texture, and playful design while learning the basics of needle felting in a relaxed and supportive environment. What is Needle Felting? Needle felting is the process of sculpting wool fibers using a special barbed needle. As the wool is repeatedly poked, the fibers tangle together to form soft sculptures and textured designs. No experience is necessary - this introductory workshop will cover basic techniques, materials and simple shaping methods to help participants get started.
