In this workshop each student will be given the supplies needed to create an 8 x 10 inch picture of their own design or using examples of pieces Joanne has created.  The supplies provided include a piece of felt to work on, many choices of colour of wool fleece and a felting needle. They should bring their own fabric scissors and any design ideas if desired to use their own ideas.

This medium is very versatile and has been used on garments, pictures and sculptures.

All materials will be provided. Cost of materials are $15 and are included in the workshop fee. 

Workshop will be in person. Workshop participants will be required to wear a mask & produce proof of vaccination.
