About the event

Kids ages 8 will learn the basics of needle felting and walk away with their own woolly creation. We'll cover rainbows and tacos, plus how to use pipe cleaner armatures to start building their favorite video game or TV character in 3D. No experience needed, just a willingness to stab some fluff with a sharp needle and see what happens.

What is needle felting? Think of it like sculpture, but instead of clay you've got fluffy colorful wool and a pokey needle. No mess, no glue, just stab until something awesome appears.

This program is geared towards children ages 8 - please note that we will be using sharp needles to complete this project. Due to limited supplies, registration is required. Questions? Please reach out to Ms. Kristen at kstockdale@dconc.gov
