Upcoming Classes
Hand Woven Bookmark for Beginners
Wednesday, February 4 | 5:30pm-8:30pm
@ Access CVU, Hinesburg, VT
Using yarn, a small handheld loom, and a needle, learn how to make a handwoven bookmark in this step-by-step workshop. Experimenting on this small weaving will help you discover some of the little tricks and techniques needed to eventually make a large-scale wall hanging you love.
As this is a beginner class, we will just be using the tabby or plain weave technique. We will also go over a brief description of weaving terms.
Each participant will leave with one woven bookmark. A selection of yarn colors will be available to choose from. An option to borrow or purchase the loom will be available during registration; looms are $10 to purchase.
For ages 13 and older.

Felted Valentine Gnomes
Saturday, February 7 | 10:30am-1:00pm

Get creative with wool and barbed needles in this fun and festive needle felting class led by local textile artist Molly Hall.

Prefer something less seasonal? You’re welcome to make an “everyday” gnome instead.
Molly is a local artist specializing in needle and wet felting, with additional experience in tapestry weaving and fabric art. She currently teaches needle felting classes at Access CVU and Radiate Art Space, where she serves as President of the Board.
No experience is necessary, making this class ideal for beginners, though those with prior felting experience are absolutely welcome. All supplies are included, so just bring your creativity and curiosity!

Needle Felted Woodland Fairies (Advanced Beginner)
Wednesday, March 18 AND March 25 | 5:30pm-8:30pm
@ Access CVU, Hinesburg, VT
Transform raw wool into whimsical woodland fairies using the art of needle felting with Molly. Guided step-by-step, you'll create a unique Waldorf inspired fairy with decorative elements over the course of two nights.
In the first class - participants will plan out their fairy vision, learn how to build an armature (wire frame), and sculpt figures to create a body.
In the second class - participants will learn how to add decorative details to bring their fairy to life, as well as finishing techniques.
Cost $80 - all materials included. Each participant will go home with one needle felted fairy, either finished as an ornament or mounted on a wooden block, and two felting needles to continue the fun at home.
This class is geared toward non-beginners - those who have taken at least one class & are familiar with the basics of needle felting.
For ages 13 and above.
Please be advised that needle felting requires the use of very sharp needles & manual dexterity.
