Chris suggests landscapes, houses, simple animals, etc. She will guide you through the process, and provide tips on how to embellish the finished art piece later at home.

Tools and equipment will be provided. We will have a "pool" of fibre for participants to use, as well as a prefelt piece to use as the foundation layer. Supplies are an additional $10 which you can purchase at the store the day of the workshop.
