About this event
Needle-felt a woolen Tomte and critter friend in this intergenerational Nordic Handcraft workshop. Make a sweet little woolly Tomte and critter friend ready for display or imaginative play! In this intergenerational needle felting class, felter Jen Newburg will lead kids and their special adults through the process of shaping and decorating a pocket-sized tomte and an accompanying creature using the magical technique of needle felting. Using a needle to poke colorful wool into place is a fun and easy craft. Children and their adults will work side-by-side on their projects throughout class. Additional information: Advanced registration required. A $25 materials fee is due in class to the instructor, and covers all materials and tools. This program is for one child and one adult to attend together, and each will work on their own projects. Please reach out if you wish to confirm available space for additional children to attend with a registered adult. Photo Credit: Jen Newburg Prerequisites: Skill Level: Open to all skill levels.
