Make your own 8X12 decorative hand-felted piece of WALL ART using wet and needle felting techniques and YOUR IMAGINATION!!!! NO prior experience necessary!!!

Workshop will introduce you to an ancient craft of felt making. You will use various wool fibers/embellishments and observe interaction of organic fibers when water and agitation shape and transform them into a piece of art. To register, please call Crossroads Art Studios at 636-724-0288.

Artist: Born and raised in the Eastern European country of Georgia, Nino was fascinated with rich cultural heritage and abundance of folk craft techniques. An eco-friendly alternative to animal fur, hand-made felt has become an inspiration for her two and three dimensional art, wearable art and jewelry. Nino incorporates wet felting technique with subtle needle-felting touches to create unique textiles.
