Dennis Public Library welcomes Lyn Slade, one of the Northeast’s premier needle felting artist-authors. She will conduct a trunk show and workshop. Space is limited, so please call the library to register in advance: 508-760-6219. Registration closes on Saturday, July 11th so that the artist can prepare materials kits for each attendee. There is a $12/person materials fee.
During the trunk show, Lyn will present her needle felted
artwork and explain how she got started with this medium and the journey she
has taken, from pattern designer to author to using her art in a healing
journey.
Our audience will have a chance to create needle felted
artwork during the workshop. Needle felting requires the use of a very sharp
barbed needle; therefore it is designed for teens and adults. Participants will
learn the basics of needle felting while creating a 5” x 7” landscape. Each
person should have the piece completed by the end of the workshop, and it will
be suitable for framing or gifting. The $12 materials fee will cover everything
needed for the workshop and everyone will go home with the foam work surface
and the specialized needle to continue on an individual journey into needle
felting.
