Beware: Needle felting is ADDICTIVE! Learn to make and embellish 3D wool objects using fiber and felting needles. You’ll have time to explore several interchangeable techniques to make wool beads and pendants that can be used to create unique jewelry pieces, small soft toys and replicas like fruits and veggies, or even free form abstract sculpture.

What is needle felting like?
Needle felting is a fun, creative and simple technique with unequaled versatility. Because the materials are clean and completely portable, needle felting is a great lap-activity that you can take pretty much anywhere you feel like crafting. The materials won't bust your crafting budget, and the tools you get in this class can be used over and over again for tons of projects on your own.
How does needle felting work?
Needle or “dry” felting is the process of turning wool fiber into felt using barbed needles. (Industrial felt is made using thousands of these needles.) The needle is punched or pushed repeatedly through the wool which locks the fibers together, creating a matted fabric or 3D object.

Review of Moxie, April 10, 2009
I had the privilege of taking a needle felting class from Moxie and found her to be an incredibly knowledgeable, immensely generous, patently patient and an all-around fantastic teacher. Her enthusiasm for her craft is contagious (in the good way) and her kind way of guiding her students through the more difficult steps is beautiful indeed.
If you've ever been even remotely interested in learning about the art of needle felting, I highly recommend taking a class with Moxie before anyone else...she seriously is the best. Needles, er...hands down! No joke. Give her classes a try...you'll be so glad you did!
