Class: Visible Mending- Needle Felting onto clothing @LoveFestFibers

Do you have a much loved sweater that you’d love to mend or want to adorn a favorite piece of clothing? In this workshop, you’ll learn to needle felt directly onto your clothes—whether it's to spice up that cute fitting but slightly meh sweater or to cover up a coffee stain or little hole in your favorite piece

Risa will guide us through the steps to felt onto fabric and make either a patch ready for sewing or work directly on your favorite clothing. By the end of class, you’ll not only know how to apply these techniques on everything you own but also have a kit to bring home and continue your felting practice!

Instructor: Risa Iwasaki Culbertson is a fiber artist, letterpress machinist, illustrator, and master crafter living in the Bay Area. 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.
