You can - and without sewing, knitting, or gluing! Needle felting is a process in which you use a barbed needle to interlock wool fibers and form a condensed mass of felted fabric. With step-by-step instructions, you will learn how to sculpt the wool into an adorable turkey friend complete with a fall rainbow of feathers. Anyone (even beginners) can join us to complete this adorable “gobble gobble turkey” to perk up their home for fall. Kelly Green-Grady 21F WKS842: Saturday, Nov 20, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM 1 session $125 Material fee payable to instructor Material list: tasoc.org No senior discount or membership fee Beginner Join us as we take a trip into the world of silver metal clay (PMC3). Metal clay is an exciting medium that begins as a suspension of tiny particles of silver in an organic clay binder. It can be shaped and layered or textured by hand or with molds and is as a malleable as ordinary modeling clay. After drying and sanding, the clay is fired with a torch or kiln. When fired, the binder burns off, leaving pure sintered metal (fine silver). It can then be polished, or patinas added. This introduction will give you the foundation for achieving great results when working with silver clay, including a basic understanding of rolling, texturing, shaping, and finishing metal clay. At the end of the day, students will go home wearing their custom creations.
