Unwind and create something beautiful in this relaxing two-hour needle-felting landscape workshop with artist and instructor Brooke Morse. In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll start with a felt background and learn how to punch colored wool into the felt using special felting needles to build soft, layered textures. Brooke will walk you through techniques for blending fibers, creating horizon lines, and adding simple landscape details like trees, hills, and sky gradients. No experience is needed — just come ready to play with color and texture. You’ll leave with your own wool-painted mini landscape framed to take home and display. Perfect for a cozy creative break and a fun introduction to needle felting! All materials are provided.
