An adult and child learn needle-felting basics while shaping colorful wool into festive ornaments, with inspiration drawn from textiles and handcrafted works in AMFA’s galleries.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Wool is both the material and the focus of this shared project: participants learn the basics of needle felting by turning colorful fibers into handmade ornaments.
AMFA describes the workshop as inspired by textiles, materials and handcrafted works on view in its galleries. The project extends that context into the studio, where wool becomes a material to shape rather than simply a surface to decorate.
Myriam Saavedra is named as the instructor. The published description centers on learning the technique through the ornament project.
