About the event

Participants ages 9 will learn the basics of needle felting and walk away with their own woolly creation. No experience needed, just a willingness to stab some fluff with a sharp needle and see what happens. During this 2-hour program, we'll create fluffy dinosaurs!

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 9 - please note that we will be using sharp needles to complete this project. Caregivers are welcome to join and participate if they'd like.

Due to limited supplies, registration is required. Questions? Please reach out to Ms. Kristen at kstockdale@dconc.gov
