Hands-On History Workshop – More Poking Around: Needle-Felted Pen Pals

Hosted by the West Volusia Historical Society for children ages 8-16. Using the simplest of tools, a single felting needle, you’ll turn wool fiber into a unique and useful pen pal. If time allows, you’ll also make an animal face pin or other shaped pin. While felting needles are very sharp and barbed, we use leather finger covers to be safe; however, please make sure that your child is aware that they need to follow directions. Previous needle-felting experience is helpful but not necessary. Materials charge: $5 WVHS members; $10 nonmembers. Reservations required; call 386-740-6813.
