Needle-Felted Sheep with Tammy Jordan (Sat AM)
Do you love sheep and wish you could have some of your very own? Well, I can't promise a real sheep, but these Needle-Felted Sheep are the next best thing! In this three-hour fun and interactive workshop, you will create your very own festive and decorative needle-felted sheep ornaments. Choose from white, black, or brown local Montana wool from my own flock of sheep as well as locally sourced yarn to make your ornament. You will have time to complete one ornament in class and have the materials to complete an additional ornament at home, or in class if time permits.
Level: Beginner - No prior needle-felting experience is required.
Ages: 8+ Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult who is taking the class.
Materials Fee: $15. Class material includes everything you will need to make one sheep ornament, which includes the fiber, felting needles, horseshoe nail legs, felting foam, and a detailed step-by-step resource guide. Additional materials and full kits will be available for purchase at the end of class.
Options: none
