IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Come hang out and needle felt a simple black-capped chickadee! By taking wool, a needle, and a bit of patience, needle felting can create any toy or sculpture that you can imagine. So bring a friend, have some tea, and learn a new craft. Note: felting needles are very sharp, this program is intended for ages 12+. Price includes felting wool for the project, a felting pad, a needle, and a finger protector.
Anna Bondartchouk (she/they) has been a hobbyist needle-felter since 2021. She has been fascinated by making toys since childhood and all the sensory joys that come with making unique creations. Anna combines her love for the chaotic art of needle felting with her background in ecological studies to make novel toys and talking points to share with as many people as possible!
