Needle Felting Workshop with Kat

Needle felting turns loose wool into solid form through repeated jabs of a barbed needle, which snag the fibers and lock them together, and this workshop in the Limelight District puts the technique in students' hands under Kat Sjogren. In the felting sessions she has led for public libraries from downtown Sarasota to Venice and North Port, participants could choose between a flat picture, such as a landscape, and a small sculpted figure. Sjogren also works with Artworks Anywhere, designing arts programs for people living with disabilities, serious illness or unstable housing, and she co-wrote classroom learning modules for the Van Wezel's Schooltime performances.
