Needle felting classes

Irma from Kawerau

Hello,

I am gauging interest to see if anyone local would like to learn needle felting. I am an experienced fiber artist with my work sold internationally and have taught people from 12 to 60+ years old.

This is a beginner class and you will learn basic needle felting techniques and create a ball to decorate as you wish. The photos are an example I made for a previous class.

Beginners lesson is a 4-5 hour session dependent on pace of the group. $65 per person - includes all materials you will need to create the project and light refreshments.

Class size will be limited to 6 spaces.

Class date TBD based on interest but will be held on either a Saturday or Sunday.

Message me for more details or to enrol.

Bob Owens Retirement Village

Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
