Needle felting is the art of repeatedly stabbing soft wool fibers with a sharp, barbed needle to create texture, shapes, and designs. With a little patience and creativity, you can make just about anything! From simple patterns to playful decorations, the possibilities are endless.

For this workshop, bring a canvas or denim item to personalize. A tote bag, jeans, jacket, hat, or pouch all work wonderfully. Then, Maggie will provide the wool, felting needles, and step-by-step instructions you need to add a pop of wooly whimsy to your favorite piece.

First, you’ll learn the basics of needle felting. Next, you’ll experiment with colors, textures, and simple designs. Finally, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind creation that is both charming and handmade.

So, if you enjoy trying something new, this class is for you! Needle felting is creative, relaxing, and just a little bit daring. Give this delightfully risky craft a try!

Ages 12 & Up! (12 – 14 Year Olds Must Have An Adult)

Maggie Headshot

Maggie is the founder of Three States Fiber Art and has been needle felting since 2017, when she picked it up just for fun. Since then, she’s created everything from coasters to carrots to capybaras using wool and a pointy barbed needle. As Maggie likes to say, “After you stab something a thousand times, you start to feel better.” She brings joy and creativity to her workshops, teaching people of all ages how to make beautiful things with their hands!
