Learn how to sculpt with wool through the art of needle felting. During this two and half hour free workshop you will learn how to work with wire to create an armature, how to cover it with wool, how to use the tools to form the wool into some fantastic fungi and finally how to mix and blend colors to bring your wooly mushroom to life!

Work created during this free workshop will be donated to the “Living Log” a community created fiber sculpture detailing the magical organisms that populate the forest floor and felt together our ecosystems. 

The sculpture will be donated to the coming Schenectady Environmental Education Center (SEEC) in Central Park, Schenectady, NY.

There will be a chance to take your work back at the conclusion of the program if you wish, but we hope if you participate you will choose to leave your work to become a permanent part of this sculpture.
