Workshops & Events

Needle Felted Tiger Workshop at Fenimore Art Museum - 9/20/25 

In celebration of the Exploring Calvin and Hobbes exhibit at Fenimore Art Museum this fall, Erin will be leading a tiger-themed needle felting workshop! In this class, participants will learn all about the wonderfully satisfying process of needle felting as they are guided step-by-step in creating an adorable three-dimensional portrait of a tiger out of wool. 

The process of needle felting involves using a special barbed needle to make repeated pokes into fluffy wool fiber, causing the fibers to tangle and mat together, forming felt. Participants will create a sculptural portrait of a tiger which will then be felted directly onto a sheet of wool felt and finished with a 4" wood embroidery frame. All materials will be provided.

Ages 12+ are welcome!
