Felting is the process of interlocking and compressing wool fibers to create a non-woven fabric. The practice of felting has been around in different iterations throughout most of human history. For this activity, we will be learning about the process of felting through a needle felting craft, which is a popular crafting hobby.
This program is recommended for anyone 8 years or older that is looking to learn the history and craft of needle felting. Kids 7 years and younger may participate with adult supervision.
During this program will be using wool and cookie cutters for our needle felting craft. Bring your favorite cookie cutter for home or use one of ours! Materials will be provided by the park. This program does use very sharp needles for the felting process.
