Cancelled – Needle Felting Technicolor Fruit

Knit & Bolt 2833 Johnson St NE, Minneapolis, MN, United States

This class is held at Knit & Bolt in NE Minneapolis. This class has unfortunately been cancelled due to low enrollment. Needle felting is the process of taking wool fibers and shaping them with a barbed needle to tangle the fibers together and create a solid fabric. In this class, we will be using this technique to create 2-D still life “wool paintings” of brightly-colored, textured fruits that look like they were painted with watercolors. We’ll go through the process of creating basic fruit shapes, like apples, bananas, or pears, and focus especially on how to blend colors to create shadows and highlights, color gradients, and outlines. By the end of the class, you will have created a set of colorful, playful fruits that are perfect for decorating your home or giving as a gift. Beginners welcome.

Hand Embroidery Spring Session

Zoom/Online Event

Spend an hour with a needle and thread exploring the art of embroidery. Each week we'll learn and practice a new stitch, from old favorites like rope stitch and couching, to new stitch combinations for borders and tiny stitched creatures. (You can see previous stitch examples at the class gallery page.) In each class, we’ll start by making abstract doodles with the basic form and then try out different variations to add texture and color. For inspiration, we’ll try to look at a few examples of each stitch used in different ways in modern and vintage textiles. Beginners are welcome; you don’t need any sewing experience for this class. This is a drop in class held every Thursday at noon (Central Time) / 6pm (GST). It is held in partnership with SoulSanity.io as part of their artmaking & wellness program and is open to anyone. Your $24 registration allows you to attend any or all of the sessions from April 13 - June 29. You can come to all of the sessions or pick and choose which ones you are interested in. Materials needed for class. This will be the same for all class sessions: An assortment of 3-5 colors of [read more...]
