Holiday Needle Felt Shadowbox Workshop

Create a one-of-a-kind holiday fiber artwork in this hands-on, in-person workshop led by fiber artist Sara Renzulli of Sarafina Fiber Arts. Participants will use colorful wool and needle-felting techniques to construct a dimensional holiday scene inside a shadow box, layering fibers and other details to create depth and texture. The finished piece can be displayed at home or given as a handmade holiday gift.

No previous experience is required, and all tools and materials are provided. Renzulli will demonstrate the process and share her expertise in transforming wool into expressive sculptural designs.
