Community Needle Felting Day

62 Plains Road,New Paltz NY 12561

28 November, 2021

Description

Together we will work on creating woodland mushrooms, faeries, gnomes and much more that make an adorable ornament or gift. In preparation for a gift giving portion of Our Holiday Maker's Market + A Musical, Magical, Puppet-y Experience, we are calling on the hands and hearts of the community to join us in making unique woolen treasures with the ancient craft of needle felting! Needle felting is the process of creating sculptures from wool fibers, using barbed felting needles. This event is for beginners and aspiring needle felting artists alike! No experience is necessary but seasoned felters are very welcome. Our vision is to generate enough gnomes, mushrooms, and other magical creatures so that each child crossing the Rosendale trestle with us on December 4th will be able to receive one felted-with-love creation. Will you join us? Come join us with loved ones to make a sweet ornament/woolen treasure for one of the lucky kids during our event while also having time to make one (or two or few:) creatures to bring home! Together we will work on creating woodland mushrooms, faeries, gnomes and much more that make an adorable ornament or gift. WHEN: November 28, 1-4pm WHERE: Circle Studios @ 62 Plains Road, New Paltz, NY. HOW: This event is volunteer based which means… free! Donations are welcome and extremely appreciated to assist us in covering material costs and ensuring that we can continue offering accessible programming to all!
