online needle felting course

This class is part of my whole doll online class but I have decided to offer it as a stand-alone class based on many requests. Upon purchase of The Magic of Faces, I offer a discounted upgrade rate for the whole doll class.

Create a unique and expressive face that is full of character and charm. These simple techniques can be repeated over and over, never making the same face twice. You will learn about basic facial anatomy and how to construct and connect the various parts of a face.

Felt Along with me and learn to Felt Alive as I share the magic of bringing lustrous fluffs of wool to life. I have designed this tutorial not with a specific pattern in mind, but to create lifelike, humanistic faces that are as unique as you and I. I can’t say exactly what your finished project will be because you will have so many opportunities for creative expression!

This is a fun journey into sculptural needle felting. Beginners will learn a comprehensive set of skills needed to go on to explore this art form and experienced needle felters will certainly learn new tricks and possibly gain a new direction to take their felting. I have included many, many pictures and detailed instructions but sometimes it’s SO much easier to watch and learn so I have created video clips to supplement some of the written instructions.

This project can be completed in approximately 4 -5 hours but I encourage students to take plenty of time.

The Possibilities Are Endless!!

Here is how my Online Course works. Upon purchase, I will email you links to download the pdf files with video links for this class. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these files. Most people already have this program installed on their computer but if you don't - it's free and I can help you with it. To take advantage of the online videos, a high speed connection is highly recommended! If you don't hear from me within 12 hours of purchase, contact me.

There are no specific workshop dates, you start when you are ready and work at your own pace.* It's all on your schedule and in the comfort of your own home! I am here to answer any questions via email. I answer email questions at least three times a day.

My goal with this course is your success. While this project is complicated, the techniques are simple enough even for a beginner. Some students take off and complete their projects with no additional help from me, while others need a little extra coaching. I am happy to give a "newbie" or anyone who needs it plenty of extra help! All you have to do is ask!

I think an online course is a great concept! It's the next best thing to the real thing!

*Short of circumstances beyond my control, I guarantee email support for three months after the date of purchase. If you need more time and I am here - I'll be glad to help.
