| Portrait of Alberto Giacometti Jan HladÃk (Czech printmaker) 2002 |
The final class of 2017!
We are working in one of my favorite mediums this month – needle felted wool!
Ready to study something a bit more modern? Surrealist Alberto Giacometti utilized the changing interests of the people who lived before and after the 2nd World War as a launching point for his ideas about sculpture.

This month student will be making their own felted sculpture. The completed works will be sent home. Kids can decide on their own whether to gift their work to a friend, or to keep it for themselves.
To complete this month’s project you will need the following supplies:
- Scissors – 1 per student
- wool roving – approx. 4 oz assorted colors per student
- felting pad, small – 1 per student
- felting needles – 2 per student minimum
- Crayola supertip markers – set of 10 – can be shared
You may also want:
- needle felting guard (highly recommended for the safety of young students)
- extra felting needles
I look forward to seeing everyone this Friday, December 16th at 6:30!
