CENTER SANDWICH — The Center Sandwich Fine Craft Gallery, will offer two Needlefelting classes in mid-August.
On Wednesday, Aug. 16, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., League of NH Craftsmen juried artisan Patsy Frasier will teach a traditional 3D needlefelting class, during which participants will create a “Gnome on the Roam” character. Each student will be able to individualize their gnome with unique props and characteristics specified by a location of their choosing such as the library, a hike or a café. This class is open to beginners and experienced needlefelters.
The second class, Tapestry Needlefelt, will be held on Saturday, Aug. 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tapestry Needlefelt is a simple technique using barbed needles to decorate a flat, felt surface with a design. This class is taught by Neysa Russo, an artist from Bradford, Vermont, who creates museum-quality tapestries of exquisite beauty and charm. Participants in this class will be able to choose from a variety of Russo's folk-art design stencils or create their own design.
Details on both classes and other summer and fall offerings, including tuition and materials costs and registration information can be found at centersandwich.nhcrafts.org.
