Needle-felted Birds Gift Bags, Fri. 1/24

Class Description

Join Shannon Timura for a creative and fun workshop where you’ll learn the art of needle-felting to create unique designs on a fabric wine bag. You’ll start by stenciling your design and then bring it to life with colorful needle-felted embellishments. By the end of the class, you’ll have a beautifully customized bag perfect for gifting wine—or anything else! Take your new needle-felting skills beyond the workshop and apply them to other bags and projects. This class is on Friday, January 24 at Vermilion Valley Vineyards from 6 to 8 p.m. You will enjoy both creating and drinking some great wines!
