Slow & Steady: The Art of Felted Turtles
There is something incredibly therapeutic about the rhythmic 'poke-poke-poke' of needle felting. Join us for a beginner-friendly morning where we’ll sculpt adorable turtles from scratch. From realistic deep-sea turtles to bright, whimsical designs, the choice is yours! No previous experience is needed—we’ll teach you everything you need to know to create a firm shell, tiny flippers, and a cute face. Just bring your imagination; we’ll handle the wool, needles, and soap.
Lisa Lombardi is a passionate artist whose creativity is fueled by her love of working with her hands and exploring the world. Having traveled to more than 25 countries, she discovered the art of Batik in Indonesia, where she learned directly from local craftsmen and fell in love with the ancient process of painting with wax and dye. Her journey with felting began years earlier during her Waldorf Teacher training, where she was introduced to needle felting as a way to create puppets for storytelling. From there, she expanded into wet felting and felting on felt exploring the endless possibilities of wool as a medium.
Classes are non-refundable because we have limited space and the artists need to prepare. You can find another person to take your seat if you are unable to attend.
