Needle felting lets you make amazing flat objects and sculptures by stabbing loose wool with a special needle. We’ll make a different seasonal project each week, so you’ll go home with lots of fiber art to keep or share. This session has new projects, so returning students are welcome. (Warning: Felting needles are sharp! We’ll be careful, but you’ll probably poke yourself at least once.) Supplies are included.

Learn to paint landscapes in watercolor! We’ll discuss different techniques and approaches for natural features – like foliage, water, rocks, and distance -- plus basic perspective for including buildings in your work. For most projects we’ll work from reference photos, and on days with good weather we might paint outdoors. Students are encouraged to keep their supply kit lightweight and fast to set up. Zero experience, some experience, and intermediate experience levels are all welcome!

Recommended Art Supplies:

- a small block of watercolor paper: cold-press paper is a good choice if you want to focus on painting; hot-press paper is a good choice if you want to draw with ink and then paint; smaller sizes like 5”x7”or 8”x10” are best for painting fast

- a pigment ink pen: single-width 0.5 (or larger) Sakura Pigma Micron or Faber-Castell Pitt Pens are good choices

- a small watercolor set: pans are easier to transport, but tubes offer more options

- watercolor brushes: a reservoir brush with water in the handle is really convenient; any short-handle watercolor brushes work

- well a mechanical pencil

- paper towels (or an old washcloth)

Optional Art Supplies:

- artist or painters’ tape

- a binder clip (or bulldog clip)

- a compact travel easel (if you like to work upright)
