We have great tutorials for simple projects that are helpful resources for needle and wet felting. Check them out!
We offer a demonstration table and display of fiber arts inspiration. At the demo table, participants will be able to spend about 10 minutes and have a project to take home. Some things we have made before are felted acorns, hearts, mini abstracts, etc. This is a fantastic way for better outreach to all participants! $350 / up to 4 hrs. plus travel
