Felted Gnome Workshop

10 Vernon St, Brattleboro, VT

In partnership with Green Mountain Spinnery, Shetland sheep farmer and fiber arts teacher Kathleen Meeks will lead adults and children 10 and up in making needle felted gnomes. All materials will be provided, including needles and enough hand-dyed wool to make two gnomes.

Kathleen Meeks has been needle felting since 2004. She and her daughter raise Shetland sheep on the farm where Meeks’ mother was born. Her grandchildren are the seventh generation to live in the farmhouse. Meeks sells breeding stock, raw wool, roving, yarn, socks, hand-knit items, and needle felting supplies, and she holds fiber classes and summer fiber camps for children at the farm.

This is an in-person workshop.

ADMISSION: $45 ($40 for BMAC members). Materials included. Adults and children ages 10 and up.
