Needle Felting: Cacti & Succulents, Tuesday 7/7, 5-7:30pm
Join me for a hands-on needle felting workshop where we will learn how to make whimsical and fun needle felted cacti and succulents! In this class you will learn how needle felting works, as well as the best materials to use. This engaging session includes all the supplies needed to create your unique plant creation in a clay pot, including high quality felting needles with a wooden handle, soft wool in an array of colors, and other needle felting supplies. At the end of the class you will be able to take these tools home with you to continue creating.
Whether you are a beginner or have some felting experience, this class is geared to help you create a beautiful felted plant. Anyone can learn how to needle felt! At the end of the class, you will have a beautiful piece of artwork to take home and display and the skills and tools to take home with you to continue creating!
Meet the Teacher: Sarah Mitchell
My name is Sarah Mitchell, and I create realistic sculptures of birds and animals through the process of needle felting. Using wool and a small barbed needle, I carefully layer and sculpt fibers to create lifelike forms rich with texture and movement. I am drawn to the unique qualities of fiber, which allow each piece to feel soft, expressive, and alive.
My work is deeply inspired by the natural world around me, particularly the birds and mammals native to South Carolina. I spend time observing the movement and behavior of animals so I can capture a sense of life and personality in each sculpture. Through my work, I hope to encourage a closer connection to wildlife and give viewers the feeling that these animals could step away from their mounts at any moment.
