It’s a popular fiber art that lets you stab things and is super easy and fun to learn!\n\n\nIn this class we will make a delightful beehive with buzzing bees. The project is from a felting kit designed by The Crafty Kit Co in Scotland. With your creativity and imagination\, the hive and bees will be a unique felted item for you to be proud of \nThis project is geared for beginners (first-timers\, or still learning basics) and is a great class to take with friends! \nAll supplies are included and the project will be done at the end of the class. \nTickets cost: $50/person + tax and EventBrite fees \n \nFelting kits for other designs will be available at the end of the workshop for purchase. \n*Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult who is also taking the class. \n\n\nInstructor bio: \nHi! I am Monique Mullis\, a retired Colorado State Park Ranger and co-owner of The Felted Dog with my sister. I am self-taught and started needle-felting over twelve years ago after looking high and low for a fiber art that didn’t include counting! It didn’t take me long to quickly learn what a fun\, inexpensive\, and addicting hobby it can be. I get most of my inspiration from nature and like to add my version of silly or whimsy to all the projects I make. \nOver the years\, I have learned various applications of needle felting\, from appliqué on wool to 3-D wool creatures. I continue to develop my personal technique called EZ Peazy felting which uses little “cheats” to ensure a successful project the first time. I have designed several felting kits with these fiber “hacks” front and center. \nOver the years\, I have been so lucky to travel to many fiber festivals as a vendor and instructor. I have taught needle felting workshops at the Estes Park Wool Market\, Sneffels Fiber Festival in Ridgway Colorado\, the Texas Fleece and Fiber Festival\, Bander Fiber Festival\, the Eureka Springs Fiber Festival in Arkansas and even a virtual workshop in 2020 at the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival (Rhinebeck). I also teach monthly felting classes in our storefront and maker’s space\, CoLLECTIVE\, in Pueblo Colorado. \nWhile I enjoy perfecting my own skills and making art pieces\, I am particularly passionate about introducing people to needle felting and giving them the skills and tools\, they need to make their own fiber creations. \n \nwww.thefelteddog.com \n\n\n*No cancellations or refunds will be accepted but if you are unable to make it\, we will allow your spot to be transferred to someone else with 48 hrs notice.

When most people think of fine art they think of giant paintings in immaculate frames roped off in beautiful upscale galleries. While that sounds like a dream come true for any artist\, I find far more meaning in connecting with people on a personal level. I’m an artist with a love for family and I thrive on emotional connection.” \nYou can find his work on his Instagram account and website: \nIG: ArtFromEarly \nWebsite: https://www.artfromearly.com/ \n\n\n*No cancellations or refunds will be accepted but if you are unable to make it\, we do allow your spot to be transferred to someone else with 48 hrs notice.

It’s a popular fiber art that lets you stab things and is super easy and fun to learn!\n\n\nIn this class we will make a delightful beehive with buzzing bees. The project is from a felting kit designed by The Crafty Kit Co in Scotland. With your creativity and imagination\, the hive and bees will be a unique felted item for you to be proud of \nThis project is geared for beginners (first-timers\, or still learning basics) and is a great class to take with friends! \nAll supplies are included and the project will be done at the end of the class. \nTickets cost: $50/person + tax and EventBrite fees \n \nFelting kits for other designs will be available at the end of the workshop for purchase. \n*Attention: This project does require some patience and focus. For that reason\, we don’t reccomend children under 10 years old attending the workshop. Children older than 10 are welcome to attend with an adult who is also paying to take the class. \n\n\nInstructor bio: \nHi! I am Monique Mullis\, a retired Colorado State Park Ranger and co-owner of The Felted Dog with my sister. I am self-taught and started needle-felting over twelve years ago after looking high and low for a fiber art that didn’t include counting! It didn’t take me long to quickly learn what a fun\, inexpensive\, and addicting hobby it can be. I get most of my inspiration from nature and like to add my version of silly or whimsy to all the projects I make. \nOver the years\, I have learned various applications of needle felting\, from appliqué on wool to 3-D wool creatures. I continue to develop my personal technique called EZ Peazy felting which uses little “cheats” to ensure a successful project the first time. I have designed several felting kits with these fiber “hacks” front and center. \nOver the years\, I have been so lucky to travel to many fiber festivals as a vendor and instructor. I have taught needle felting workshops at the Estes Park Wool Market\, Sneffels Fiber Festival in Ridgway Colorado\, the Texas Fleece and Fiber Festival\, Bander Fiber Festival\, the Eureka Springs Fiber Festival in Arkansas and even a virtual workshop in 2020 at the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival (Rhinebeck). I also teach monthly felting classes in our storefront and maker’s space\, CoLLECTIVE\, in Pueblo Colorado. \nWhile I enjoy perfecting my own skills and making art pieces\, I am particularly passionate about introducing people to needle felting and giving them the skills and tools\, they need to make their own fiber creations. \n \nwww.thefelteddog.com \n\n\n*No cancellations or refunds will be accepted but if you are unable to make it\, we will allow your spot to be transferred to someone else with 48 hrs notice.

Come join us in making felt owls.\n\n\nIn this class we will make a curious little owl. The project is from a felting kit. With your creativity and imagination\, the owl will be a unique felted item for you to be proud of \nThis project is geared for beginners (first-timers\, or still learning basics) and is a great class to take with friends! \nAll supplies are included and the project will be done at the end of the class. \nTickets cost: $50/person + tax and EventBrite fees \n \nFelting kits for other designs will be available at the end of the workshop for purchase. \n**Attention: This project does require some patience and focus.

I am Monique Mullis\, a retired Colorado State Park Ranger and co-owner of The Felted Dog with my sister. I am self-taught and started needle-felting over twelve years ago after looking high and low for a fiber art that didn’t include counting! It didn’t take me long to quickly learn what a fun\, inexpensive\, and addicting hobby it can be. I get most of my inspiration from nature and like to add my version of silly or whimsy to all the projects I make. \nOver the years\, I have learned various applications of needle felting\, from appliqué on wool to 3-D wool creatures. I continue to develop my personal technique called EZ Peazy felting which uses little “cheats” to ensure a successful project the first time. I have designed several felting kits with these fiber “hacks” front and center. \nOver the years\, I have been so lucky to travel to many fiber festivals as a vendor and instructor. I have taught needle felting workshops at the Estes Park Wool Market\, Sneffels Fiber Festival in Ridgway Colorado\, the Texas Fleece and Fiber Festival\, Bander Fiber Festival\, the Eureka Springs Fiber Festival in Arkansas and even a virtual workshop in 2020 at the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival (Rhinebeck). I also teach monthly felting classes in our storefront and maker’s space\, CoLLECTIVE\, in Pueblo Colorado. \nWhile I enjoy perfecting my own skills and making art pieces\, I am particularly passionate about introducing people to needle felting and giving them the skills and tools\, they need to make their own fiber creations. \n \nwww.thefelteddog.com \n\n\n*No cancellations or refunds will be accepted but if you are unable to make it\, we will allow your spot to be transferred to someone else with 48 hrs notice.
