Description: 

Halloween-faces-hooked-pins-Cheryl-Bollenbach

This workshop is an introduction to creating dimensional and sculpted fiber art jewelry, in the form of a pin. The theme will be Halloween, and students may select three pin kits during the workshop. Choices are a Jack-O-Lantern, Witch, Ghost and Scarecrow.

If you have never needle felted or needle sculpted before, this workshop is for you. It will cover the basics of needle sculpting, along with the finishing steps for making a pin. It is both an immediate gratification project and the foundation for adding sculpting to future hooked and sculpted projects. Not to mention, the start of making some fun, creative gifts.

Everyone will be asking you . . .Where did you get that cute Halloween Pin?
