The Register Citizen (Torrington, CT)
Registration open for felting classes
WOODBURY — Flanders Nature Center will host Rachel Gerowe of Redbarn Originals for needle felting night, Sept. 27 and Oct. 25. Classes begin at 7 p.m.
Needle felting is an easyto-learn craft that involves using a barbed needle to sculpt wool. Participants can attend for $10 and choose to either bring their own project to be given guidance and support on or purchase a kit for an additional fee. Assorted kits will be available, ranging in price from $10-$35.
Dogs will be the featured kit Sept. 27; owls and snowmen are the kit on Oct. 25. Participants can save $5 if they bring their own needles and foam. Beginners welcome.
Both classes will be held at the Flanders’ Studio which is located at 5 Church Hill Road in Woodbury.
