(Y) Teen Scene: Needle-Felted Fall Gourds

Ages 14 - 17 Celebrate the season by creating your own cozy fall décor! In this workshop, teens will learn the art of needle felting as they transform soft wool roving into colorful autumn gourds. Using a special felting needle, participants will repeatedly poke the wool, encouraging the fibers to bind together and take shape.

This relaxing and rewarding fiber art technique allows you to sculpt unique textures, colors, and patterns, making each gourd a one-of-a-kind creation. No previous experience is necessary, but participants should be comfortable handling a sharp needle and following safety instructions.

Join us to explore this popular fiber art form and create a handmade decoration that's perfect for welcoming fall!

Please note that this is a Teen Space program. Younger siblings may not attend the workshop but are welcome to enjoy coloring sheets and paper crafts in the library outside the program area.
