Resources for Sculptural Needle Felting Techniques and Supplies
Many of my earlier dolls, see gallery page, are done with a technique called sculptural needle felting. I used to try to teach sculptural needle felting techniques and will still give guidance on occasion but here are two resources for artists who are much more patient and skilled at teaching these techniques. As Stephanie mentions below, needle felting can be quite challenging and takes time but if you are willing to commit time and effort, there is so much you can do with this technique. Stay tuned for more resources here.
Stephanie Metz, sculptural needle felting course online.
Her course is very comprehensive and covers all different aspects of construction, materials to use and lots of tips.
Here's what she says about herself on her website:
I'm Stephanie Metz, an internationally-exhibiting, classically-trained sculptor involved in a long-term relationship with wool and felt. It all started when a friend shared an article about wet felting. When I went to a yarn shop, introduced myself as a sculptor, and announced my intention to try felting, the proprietor took one look at me and instead directed me towards a book on needle felting. I went home to try it and was instantly hooked (or maybe poked?)!
19 years into needle felting I'm still excited and amazed by the process and possibilities of this art form-- and I love sharing my knowledge and experience. My goal is to demystify needle felting and make it accessible and understandable.
As a working artist (www.stephaniemetz.com) and mom, teaching in-person workshops is a luxury that happens only a few times a year, but I know from my waiting lists and online community that there's a huge desire to learn about my approach to needle felting-- and a lot of shared frustrations that I can help remedy. Needle felting isn't fast and it isn't easy, but, with patience and knowledge, it is incredibly satisfying. Welcome to my video school!
Kay Petal, also has several free sculptural needle felting courses. She focuses more specifically on doll making and has a wonderful free self paced course on her website. She specializes in quirky needle felted dolls of famous people and also does commissions.
Her website, Felt Alive, is also a great resource for needle felting supplies. This is where I learned to needle felt my dolls and where I ordered many of my supplies when I was doing more needle felting. Lately I have been doing more stitching and sewing but I know I will go back to needle felting when I am called.
