Craft Lab: Needle Felting Your New Year’s Motto

Craft a small felted banner or pocket talisman that carries your 2026 intention. Learn needle-felting basics—tool safety, shaping, color blending—and simple lettering techniques to translate a word or short phrase into wool. Choose from soft, natural palettes or go bold; finish with a dowel or pin-back for display or everyday carry. Beginner-friendly; all materials provided. Participants leave with a finished piece. There is a $10 materials fee due to the instructor on the first day of class.

The Craft Lab series offers a rotating lineup of engaging, beginner-friendly classes where you’ll learn a new craft in just a couple hours — no prior experience needed. These crafty mornings are all about slowing down, making something meaningful, fueling your creativity, and meeting new people.
