Events › Make a Baby Penguin! A Needle Felting Workshop

Learn everything you need to begin needle felting in a supportive and relaxing environment with artist Jennifer McCarthy, owner of The Felted Bee. 

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you will learn skills and techniques specific to needle felting as well as how to make your own needle felted baby penguin. All materials and tools will be provided.

Needle felting is a sculpting technique of using a sharp, barbed needle that you repeatedly insert into the wool to create felt. The wool becomes tangled and snarled and compressed by the needle to create various three dimensional forms.
