Join me in this 2-class fun introductory workshop where we’ll learn the magic of 3D needle felting! Participants will be instructed on how to repetitively use the felting needle to manipulate wool fibers to sculpt a compact 3 dimensional form of cuteness. They will walk away with their own needle felted penguin and the basic skills needed to felt other delightful 3D felted creations.

What is needle felting? Let's get to know the materials, tools and beginner techniques we'll be working with. We'll spend the rest of the class getting familiar with felting 3D forms and begin the basic shape for our penguin.
Thurs, Apr 25 / 7:00-8:30pm - Painting and Sculpting with Wool:
Ready to bring your penguin to life? We’ll continue firming up the basic shape of our penguin, and as participants are ready in their own time, they will begin adding color, dimension, and finer details.

Notes – Needle felting is not a quick art and once started, it can become quite addicting so if you feel like you need more time or can't wait to continue felting your penguin further, don't worry!

Make your own Little Mama
Join me on an inner transformative journey to connect with yourself and like-minded women, through the creation of a Lil’ Mama clay figurine. The Lil’ Mama is inspired by one of the most ancient works of art discovered in human civilization. Thought to be nearly 30,000 years old, she has been called the Venus, though mythologically Venus as we know her today was not on the scene for thousands of years later. These humble, 3-4 inch tall, exaggeratedly round female figures were symbolic of the beloved archetypal Mother. She was thought of as a physical object embodying abundance in all manifestations from fertility to healthy crops and blessings.
Through the act of setting a private intention and participation in a guided process of intuitive art making we will connect with the goddess and plant a seed that will symbolically grow within you throughout the year. What you will walk away with is a guided experience in small group of like-minded women to create your very own totem, a symbol for you to take home into your daily life and remind you of who you truly are and what you want to cultivate in yourself and birth this year. This workshop is for women of all ages. Tap into your own innate creative power!
