Needle Felted OWLS
Learn the skill of needle felting while creating one of these adorable little Owls. You choose the critter's design and we'll take you through the process, step by step guiding with as much individual attention and assistance as we can. It's easier than you may think to felt one of these delightful characters, and with a little practice, you'll be doing it with speed and accuracy while developing your own unique style. They make great gifts for so many occasions or you can create a fun menagerie of your own !

Have your GPS take you to 101 West Rodney French Blvd. in New Bedford. When you see a sign for GLOBE FURNITURE, look for street parking. You'll see an ORANGE rimmed door with our yellow sign over it right after the school bus lot...enter through the orange door and go up the stairs. At the top of the stairs...follow small yellow signs for NBACE. We're right around the corner behind the mural !!
