Rock Paper Plant is teaming up with Shop Made in DC for a fun virtual workshop to celebrate DC’s favorite flowering tree.
Join Rock Paper Plant and Shop Made in DC to celebrate spring with a fun, safe, and crafty activity!
In this class, you’ll learn the basics of how to create felted structures all while creating your very own 3D cherry blossoms inside a decorative hoop. Needle felting is an easy and often relaxing way to create 3D sculptures out of wool.
Here's how it works:
This workshop is limited to 20 students.
This class will be taught virtually via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom info after you register.
We will mail students a kit with the materials you need to participate, including a felting pad, needles, wool, felt fabric, glue, embroidery hoop, and glue. You'll need your own scissors and a pencil.
If you already have the foam pad from one of our workshops, you can opt to just receive just the other materials.
You must register by April 1st to ensure your kit arrives in time.
Students will receive a link to an instructional PDF after the class.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the event family-friendly?
Yes! We've had kids as young as 8 in our felting classes. That said, this activity uses sharp needles, so we recommend that kids are supervised at all times to avoid injury.
2. When will I receive my materials?
We ship all kits using USPS Priority Mail. They typically ship one week before the class and arrive within 1-3 business days. If you are located outside the DMV, we recommend registering ASAP so we can mail your materials earlier.
