                        Workshop

​                     DOG TALES
               Thursday, April 27, 2023

                   5:00pm - 10:00pm
          Tracey Howard & Sharon Light       

Join us and recreate your favorite storybook dog in felt! You will learn the techniques of ‘poking’ wool roving with specialty-barbed needles to dry felt a character in the scale of your choice. No prior experience needed. 

The Chicago International is our only workshop where we encourage you to choose what you want to felt. You can make one of our models – or choose something else entirely. For example: pets, animals, bearskin rugs... realistic or fanciful. We help you create!

We provide all the materials and tools needed to complete the sculpture. The tools and patterns are yours to keep. 

Due to the range of possibilities, we require pre-class information, so we will have the correct tools and materials available for you. We will contact you approximately 2 weeks before the class.

(Please note, the models shown here are for illustration purposes and are not for sale. We do not own the trademark for them and are teaching felting as a skill with models for personal use only)
