Needle Felting Fall

Needle Felting Fall

Saturday, October 29, 2022

1:00 - 3:00 p.m.      $40.00 per participant

Join us for a fiber experience like no other!  Emerse yourself in the Learning Garden on the farm and find inspiration in the autumn colors, sights and sounds.  Meet our loving fiber-producing rabbit family, explore pumpkins, gourds and squash of all sorts.  Sip herb tea and learn a new craft, or improve your skills with WFCF Director of Educaiton, Jessica Herwick.

Learn about the history of wool and the various methods used throughout the centuries to create art and textiles that have kept humans warm, boats sailing, and homesteads warm for centuries.  Meet a few members of our angora rabbit fiber family for inspiration and cuddles, and enjoy some warm seasonally spiced tea and cookies while you create with your community!

Manipulate wool using the art of needle felting to create an autumn landscape felt painting, or 3 dimensional wool sculptures, to reflect your experience and meet other makers who share an enthusiasm for natural art and sustainable fiber!

Material kits and all materils included are yours to keep, packed with enough needle felting supplies to continue crafting at home. 

All levels of experience are welcome!  From beginner to advanced, there is inspiration to be found!  

Youth 10 - 18yrs are welcome to attend if accompanied by an adult, but please be aware needle felting requires very sharp needles and some tools that must be used carefully.

More information about our COVID-19 Safety Recommendations and how to best prepare your family for this program will be delivered upon registration closer to the start date of the program.  Please see current guidance from Waltham City HERE
