This is a skill-building class. Our subject will be a lion, but the lessons will extend to other animals as well. During this session, we will focus on needle felting realistic animal eyes, hair and mane, and noses. These skills will increase your confidence to work on other animals. You will have the supplies to complete your lion, but you will not finish it in class. Students will learn how to:

• utilize various types of wools and needles
• create life-like eyes with appropriate shape, shading, and fine details
• needle felt a lion’s nose with dimensionality
• needlefelt a mane, whickers, and chin hair, using varied wool types
• make unique colors by blending wool
• clean up edges
• work in fine details
• check one’s work and problem solve
• finish and finalize the project.
