September Classes
Needle Felting with Cyndi Maitri
Cyndi returns with a series of needle-felting classes that she will personalize to your interest and skill level. Beginners will learn the basic skills of dry felting while creating a piece of framable art, approximately 8x12. More experienced felters can consult with Cyndi on a more complex project, work at their own pace, and receive guidance from Cyndi as they work. Sign up for one or more classes.
September 16 | October 21 | November 18
