Spring Workshop Tour
Sponsored in part by Living Felt
At each city, I'll be teaching a Wool Painting class, where you'll learn how to needle felt an image. Here's the class description:
Join us for a fun workshop of
learning how to "paint" with wool. Dani will guide you through the
process of needle felting that will give you the skills to create an
image with wool fibers. You'll leave the class with at least one
finished project, ready to frame, and the knowledge (plus materials) to
keep on creating at home.
In this class, Dani will demonstrate her tips and techniques to create a beautiful, realistic flower. You'll learn how to block out colors, how to blend colors to add dimension and create sharp lines. You'll also learn how to create your own wool canvas to use as a base. If time allows, we'll begin a second project, so bring an additional photo of your choice for reference.
Your class fee includes 2 hours of instruction and creating time, plus a kit of supplies and materials to take home when class is over. No felting experience is necessary. Registration is required.

At a few locations, I'll also be teaching how to create a Wool Cactus! Check this out:
In this workshop you'll learn how to create
your own felted wool cactus! Dani will guide you through the
process of needle felting and sculpting fibers into basic shapes. We'll
use these new skills to make an adorable potted (easy-to-care-for!)
cactus. Along with sculpting basic shapes, we'll learn how to add color
to
projects and create fine details to make your project extraordinary.
You'll leave the class with at least one finished (or almost finished)
project,
and the knowledge (plus materials) to keep on creating
at home.
