With step-by-step instructions, you’ll learn how to shape, layer, and sculpt wool using just a barbed needle and your imagination.

By the end of the class, you’ll have all the skills and materials you need to complete your needle-felted buddy—even if you finish it up at home. You’re welcome to create anything you like, so bring ideas or follow along with our featured design (like the avocado buddy pictured above). Let’s turn fluffy fiber into magic, one poke at a time!

Hello! My name is Mik, and I am a self-defined serial hobbiest - who isn't these days? Everything I know about art came from crafting with my mom growing up, who grew up crafting with her mom and so on. Moms are the best aren't they? Anyways, I have been teaching a myriad of craft classes over the last few years in New York and Chicago - anything from embroidery to needle felting to jewelry making. You can expect to leave my classes feeling fulfilled, more relaxed, and with a new hobby! Come solo or bring a friend, all are welcome! :)
