## About

A two-hour needle-felting class where a child and an adult each make a tiny wool snowman, complete with face and accessories, under felter Jen Newburg. The technique uses a barbed needle to poke colored wool into shape and is open to all skill levels. The class is for one child (ages 9-17) and one adult working side by side on their own projects. Advance registration is required, and a $25 materials fee covering wool and tools is paid to the instructor in class.
