Class Descriptions:
A. Paper quilling: Quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper shape is manipulated to create designs on their own or to decorate other objects, such as greetings cards, pictures, or boxes.
B. Needle Felting: Come learn the basics of working with roving wool and how to Needle Felt. You will have the option to make a set of 4 - coasters, a brooch or melted monster/animal. Everyone will have a needle and piece of foam they can take home with extra roving wool if they do not finish their project. Please note the needles are sharp and you move them quickly in and out of the wool. If your 4-Her is not comfortable using other sharp craft/art tools (xacto knives, scissors, etc.) please do not sign them up for this class, or plan on attending with your child to supervise.
C.
