Hand Puppet Class

Coming May 15th and 20th- The Return of the Needle Felted handpuppet class.

In the interest of accomodating those who have difficulty attending classes in the evenings, the class on Wednesday the 15th will be held at 2pm. The Monday evening class on the 20th will be held at 6:30pm. Sign up with Arlene at the shop. A new sample puppet will be arriving at Fiberworks in the very near future.

We love puppet classes. It's always so much fun to see sweater sleeves transformed into whimsical creatures with unique personalities. Whether you're interested in making a puppet for the children in your life or for the child in you, these recycled wool puppets have a lot of character and personality. Join instructor Andi Fasimpaur at Fiberworks for a workshop to teach you how to turn the sleeve of a recycled wool sweater into a whimsical puppet. After stitching the muzzle shut and attaching the ears, you will needle felt eyes and a nose to add the finishing touch to your puppet.

This class is a great introduction to 3 dimensional needle felting for the beginner and a fun application of the skills you already have for the more advanced fiber artist. Special attention will be given to carding as a way of blending colored rovings to achieve pleasing color matches.

$30 course fee covers basic materials. Additional supplies will be available at the shop. Additional felted sleeves may be purchased from the instructor for $5 each. All other supplies are available through the shop.

Participants are asked to bring a pair of scissors to reduce the chances of delays.
