This class is appropriate for all skill levels and a great introduction to needle felting fundamentals. 3 hours.

We will create fantastic dragons as we explore the use of armatures in needle felting sculptures. Class is intermediate level but beginners are welcome to give it a try!! Recommend bird class as a prerequisite if possible. (5 hour teaching time class with hour break in middle.)
Students should bring: Although I provide everything all wool, needles and foam, and will bring lots of found natural objects to work with including feathers, kelp, driftwood, lichen and shells. Please bring interesting driftwood, kelp etc to weave in if you want.
BIO: Corbin Brashear is a fiber artist and teacher who creates whimsical mixed media sculptures, masks and tapestries using found natural objects and needle felted wool. Her work is profoundly shaped by the rugged wilderness of her Siskiyou mountain home where she finds many of her materials that get incorporated into her work. She shows her work in galleries and juried art shows around the West Coast as well as leading art retreats, workshops and residencies in schools for the past 20 years. She is a shameless proselytizer of the gospel of needle felting and loves sharing its limitless artistic freedom to help nurture and inspire ones’s creative life.
