Design Your Own Felted Mushroom
Learn about the mushrooms found in our state while we practice needle felting techniques. You will leave with a felted mushroom, or a few, of your design and making! Participants are welcome to come with images of mushrooms they want to make. Many examples and reference images will also be available. Instruction will be provided on needle felting techniques and supplies and achieving the desired mushroom form and design. We will discuss fungi biology, functional anatomy, local ecology, and foraging while we felt!
This workshop is hosted by the incredible Cultus Bay Gardens on Whidbey Island. We will have the unique opportunity to create while immersed in nature and surrounded by beautiful old-growth Washington just a short distance from the Puget Sound. Come spend the day on the island with us!
Space is limited to 12 participants to ensure a high level of instruction.
