Spheres of Whimsy

An introductory class to the world of fiber crafting with all natural-wool, taught by Kristy Sturgill and open to ages 8-98, offering a great opportunity to spend time with kids or grand kids! Kristy is a former shepherdess that fell in love with working with natural locally sourced wool. She loves to share her passion with others by teaching the art of needle felting.

Students will apply colorful wool on a Styrofoam ball using a barbed felting needle to create their first masterpiece. Felting on Styrofoam allows beginners to safely get the feel for the needle as they apply hand dyed-locks.

The sky is the limit for what participants might create, according to Kristy. “Design anything from Van Gogh’s Starry Night to Monet’s Poppy Fields, it is up to the artist!” The class fee includes all materials. Age limit is 8 years old to 98 years.
