Create a unique piece of art out of locally sourced alpaca fiber at Needlefelt Penguin on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. in The Studio.
Stephanie Block of Sundrop Alpacas will walk students through the needlefelting process to make a penguin, which can be customized to make them look authentic, whimsical or anything in between. The class is perfect for those wanting to learn a new art form.
