.

Join artist and instructor Rachel Benson as she guides us through the art of needle felting. Rachel will teach you the materials and techniques of this art form and guide you through the process of felting to create your very own piece to take home and admire. This is a great beginner’s project and a lot of fun for the experienced felter. All materials will be provided by the instructor.


This class is good for those new to needle felting, but all skill levels are welcome.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Reading Public Library. Thank you!
