11/30/24 Needle Felting Workshop: Make Your Own Toadstool Ornament
This event coincides with our Holiday Open House featuring Brazier Moon. There will be vendors, sales, treats, a raffle, and of course champagne along with several DIY workshops to create your perfect gift. This class is shorter than our normal classes and will last about an hour long.
In this one hour long class you will learn to make your very own needle felted ornament. Needle felting is a creative craft that involves sculpting shapes and figures using wool and special felting needles. This process involves stabbing wool with a special needle. As you repeatedly stab and turn the wool, the needle pulls more wool into itself, and the fibers interlock into felt. With continued stabbing and turning you will form a shape.
Known in German as glücklicher pilz or gluckspilz (which literally means “lucky mushroom”), the red-and-white speckled fungi grow deep in the forest. Its real name is Amanita muscaria or fly agaric, and finding one is thought to be a sign of good luck, similar to the way the Irish view four-leaf clovers. That’s because the roots of this specific mushroom can only grow in the root zones of certain types of trees, which happen to be those we generally think of as Christmas trees. It has been a German tradition for centuries to decorate the pine trees with these dried mushrooms.
The studio always has wine and champagne for free but if you would like other drinks, please bring your own.
Class is at 4PM at 413 Spears Ave, Chattanooga, TN 37405. Please park on the street. There will also be outdoor vendors.
