Needle Felting Chick & Bunny Daytime Session Spring 2024

$40

with Julie Knowlton

Calendar Mar 20, 2024 at 9 am

These cute little Easter buddies are great for both beginners and experienced felters! Julie will bring all the materials, including the little peat pot baskets! The pots will sit better with a small rock in the bottom-- you can bring the rock (Walnut shell sized). You will learn to make a firm egg and add features -- wings, tail and beak (beware the beak, it's the hardest part!) or cheeks, tail and ears (ears are easier than cheeks!). Let's have felting fun!

*If you would prefer to make just one critter, you can for $25. For individual sessions, register by phone at 207-564-6525 or email hroberts@pvaec.org

Chick: 9-10:30am
