Needle Felting Extravaganza

From Gallery Hanahou
"We were happy to have a great crowd of fiber art enthusiasts at the opening, and the presence of artists Hine Mizushima and Moxie made it a very special evening. Everyone who came was taken in by Hine's undulating sea creatures, Kit Lane's enchanting Strangeland sculptures, Moxie's carefully recreated objects, and the detailed fairy tale scenes by Yoko Nomura

The show is up through April 1st, so please stop by and see it yourself if you're in the NYC area! If you can't make it in person, you can see all of the pieces in the show in our catalog, now available for download here. (Pieces have been selling fast, so some may no longer be available.) 

The sold-out workshop with Moxie on March 5th was also a blast: Moxie is an excellent teacher and needle felting evangelist. Everyone went home with a new creation and plenty of materials to keep making. If you missed the workshop, you can teach yourself to needle felt by picking up a signed copy of Moxie's book I Felt Awesome in our shop

In conjunction with the show, Moxie, artist and author of the book "I Felt Awesome," will lead a beginners' workshop in needle felting.
