FLAT Needle Felts is for anyone who is interested in learning how to embellish clothing, or place your own needle felted art on a fabric substrate for making art suitable for room decor, making decorative art, for artistically repairing damaged clothing and more! In general, you will be learning the relaxing and forgiving craft of needle felting and how to use this craft on a Flat substrate, or "canvas".

Whether you are a beginner who has never done any needle felting before, or someone who has dabbled at the craft successfully - or unsuccessfully! I will get you set on the right track. No matter where you are on your creative path, if you are willing to explore and play, then this class is right for you!

You may have purchased a needle felting kit or supplies and do not know how to get started. Or, maybe you've watched those YouTube videos and still feel lost. My method of teaching will resolve all your questions, and show you how to create amazing needle felted art creations. Your creations will be formed correctly, will stay in place on the garment, and will open the door to a craft you can work on anywhere, anytime. After this class, you will feel comfortable creating needle felted art onto your clothing, create art that is suitable to be framed and displayed, ready your art to be made into a decorative pillow and much more- to your heart's content!

Through several step-by-step high-quality instructional videos where I work side-by-side with novice needle felters, real life questions and answers, supportive encouragement, and feedback from students in the videos, you will learn the miraculous way wool is sculpturally shaped by delicate barbed needles, and the way to wool grabs into the base fabric you are needle felting onto. You will feel like we are working side-by-side as you view the videos in the comfort of your home or studio. You will feel like I am teaching and supporting you as you create your projects at your own pace.
