Society of Wildflowers Conference

We know that the artistic process activates positive neurotransmitters in the brain, but you may not have realized the therapeutic benefits of felted wool crafting, affectionately known as "stab therapy". The practice of needle felting is not only useful for creating unique works of art, but has the added therapeutic benefit of reducing stress and allowing the release of negative energy, achieved by repeatedly stabbing wool roving against a block. Creations come alive with color, texture and pattern. Create designs that are both loose and tight, curved and straight, and blend the colors that speak to your emotions, whether dark, light, bold, pastel or a combination of these. There is no wrong way to create needle felted art; the objective of this workshop is to create a visual expression of your life experience.
