A virtual Dala horse needle felting workshop!
Explore the magic of needle felting with a delightful Dala horse image and take your colorwork skills to a new level! Dala horses have been a Swedish icon for centuries, and this class will take a new spin on the traditional wooden-painted form by recreating the image in wool. During this class held virtually via Zoom, students will learn how to stretch a felt backing onto an embroidery hoop and keep it tight for ease of use. Plus, they will learn to transform the beautiful array of hand-dyed roving from the instructors farms sheep into their own interpretation of the project. Focus will be given to shape creation, colorwork, and three-dimensionality.
At the end of the class, the instructor will offer suggestions for using or mounting your finished piece.
This is a beginner-friendly course. Bring your creative spirit and love of wool!
All students will be mailed a kit containing:
Two felting needles
Craft felt backing with transferred design,
Ample wool to make the project such that any color could work in any of the design
You will need to supply:
Foam work surface (or request one from instructor for $6 extra)
An 8-inch embroidery hoop (must be 8-inch)
