This felting class is designed for anyone looking to try something new, enjoy a playful artistic experience, or spend quality time with a friend or loved one. You’ll learn how to felt step by step, starting with the basics of shaping and sculpting wool, and gradually adding fun details to bring your designs to life.

Please note:
All group workshops are taught indoors, so we will be sitting near another classmate. Please stay home if you feel you are sick. I am happy to make arrangements with you so you can take another workshop if you are sick on the day of class. Classes last approximately 3-6 hours (as noted), or as fast as you work.

  • 5/5 from Donita Scott, attended Sep 2026: A warm welcome from our teacher Val when we entered the building. My granddaughter and ventured out to a craft we had no experience with. We walked away with an amazing project. Val gave her personal time to each one of us. She had an abundance of supplies with so many colors to choose from. She is patient, kind and knowledgeable about felting. This will become our new hobby. Thank you Val for hosting a very pleasant experience.

Hello! I'm Val Hebert, and I am so glad to e-meet you here! For the past 15+ years, I have steadily created handmade needle felted goodness that's intended to delight and inspire. A painter at heart, and an inventive seamstress, I needle felt to calm my mind, organize my thoughts and offset the difficulties and celebrations that come with supporting family members with health challenges. Not one to sit idly while dealing with life’s hardships, I happened upon the craft of needle felting. This charming art medium allows all my artistic sensibilities; painting, sewing & designing, to be brought together on the canvas of repurposed wool, which I needle felt to my heart’s content. Needle felting has allowed my hands to stay busy while my brain works through a multitude of life challenges while simply keeping myself safe, alive, and intact, such as in 2021; I had to dig deep when my husband and life partner of 33 years was struck with GBM4 brain cancer. Even though he survived only 7.5 months after diagnosis, my art and faith has kept me going. Needle felting allows me to create charming and darling things that make me SMILE, continually bringing light and hope into my life during dark and challenging times. I aim to bring a whimsical charm to each creation, offering up handmade keepsakes for future generations, while keeping my heart calm and focused. Featured in SD Voyager Magazine, named a "Star of San Diego" by San Diego Home Garden Lifestyles magazine, and multiple published articles in the Somerset Home family of magazines, you can read all about these and more by getting to know me and joining me on your own lovely needle felting journey. Welcome!
