Felted Mouse

Much like Beatrix Potter, Leah enjoys creating characters from the natural environment of the Adirondacks. In this needle felting class you will make a mouse that could be found in one of Beatrix Potter’s stories. You will first learn how to make a complete armature of a four legged animal using wire. This will allow the mouse to be posable as well as present the steps needed to make other four legged animals. You will then use wool roving to create the appropriate body shapes and colors. Even though this project is at an intermediate level, the instructor will demonstrate wrapping and sculpting techniques and assist at each step. All necessary supplies will be provided in the materials packet.
