Moon Shadows: Needle Felted Landscape with Jaana Mattson

Description

In this single session we will work on a moody, moonlit forest scene together.  With all the right colors in your roving kit we will build the scene from sky to forest floor using surprising layers of color to create an atmospheric effect.  

• We will work the composition step-by-step and complete the piece during class.  
• You will be introduced to the tools and materials to work along with the group, and all necessary supplies are provided. 
• You will leave class with a finished piece and materials for more at home which are covered by a $30 material fee, due in class. 

 

Each kit includes a collection of dyed wool roving in the landscape palette, felting needles, acrylic felt pinned to a foam block and printed materials outlining tools, fibers and resources.
