Online Needle Felt Party
If you have 5 or more people and would like to host a private ZOOM party, connect with me and I’ll be happy to work with you. Choose any needle felt project from my list. Cost is based on the project chosen. I can mail materials for a fee or they can be picked up from my house in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are very beneficial as you can get the one-on-one attention that you need, and every lesson is catered to your specific issue and project. If your problem requires more time and attention than 5 minutes, please book a private session with me.
I’m always planning workshops and classes. If you have a class idea or something specific you want to needle felt, please contact me.
