Ready to jump into the soothing and satisfying world of needle felting? In this all levels class, you'll explore this beautiful art form to make delicious (looking) mini sushi sets from colorful wool roving.

Together we’ll explore:

• Creating and manipulating shapes using felting needles & wool
• How to use wool materials to create project bases
• Risa’s tips & tricks for blending color

Walk away from class with at least 2 felted sushis of your choice and understanding of how to start your own projects. You'll go home with materials, resources and tools in a cute box to keep felting!

Risa's classes are fun, welcoming, and relaxing. Great for beginners but also good for those with some felting skills already!

Instructor: Risa Iwasaki Culbertson is a fiber artist, letterpress machinist, illustrator, and master crafter living in the Bay Area. She creates most of her work from a studio in Berkeley where she also owns and operates her playful letterpress stationery company Papallama. The abundance of Risa’s work is silly and playful which is visually approachable at face value but, there is also a personal story behind each of her quirky creations. She uses the power of play as a vehicle to strengthen connections, replenish one’s energy, problem solve, inspire, and be inspired. Her colorful artwork has deeper meaning but, it is meant for all to enjoy.
