Mixed Media Moss Sampler Workshop - Felting, Embroidery, Beading

In the Moss Sampler class we will explore 3 mediums; felting, embroidery and beading. When artfully placed together, they resemble a beautiful piece of earthy moss and lichen. We will also learn how to securely finish our pieces in an embroidery hoop at the end.

No experience is required on this make and take class, but be sure to bring your glasses if threading a needle requires them!

• Cost: $100
• Supplies are provided, including felting needle, roving wool, felt sheet,
  embroidery hoop, foam block.
• Where: Yarn Therapy Fibre Crafts classroom

What is needle felting?

Needle felting is a fibre art technique where wool is repeatedly stabbed with a
barbed needle which entangles the fibres to create felt. In 3D needle felting, this
process allows fibres to be sculpted into solid three-dimensional shapes and
forms such as animals, figures, or decorative items. In 2D needle felting, wool is
applied onto a flat surface like a fabric or felt sheet to create images and designs.
Both types are beginner friendly and fun!

ABOUT CHLOE

My name is Chloe and I’m a textile and fibre artist, here in Saskatoon. I’ve been focusing on 2D felting since 2019, and my favourite subjects to work on are florals and landscapes among pet portraits and ultrasound images. I have a passion for teaching others about this great and relaxing art form! In this workshop we will touch on colour mixing, lighting & shading as well as techniques for creating realistic clouds, sunsets and silhouettes.
