Arlington Community Education

Explore a variety of fiber arts. Start by learning how to make your own loom, then use it to create a woven wallet or purse. Get creative with yarn to make adorable pompom pets. Practice threading a needle and learn basic embroidery stitches as you sew a pillow or stuffed toy. You’ll take home your fun, handmade projects and new skills to continue crafting with fiber on your own.

Transform wool into soft, three-dimensional sculptures using the fun and easy process of needle felting. Learn the basics, including how to safely use the sharp needles and shape the wool into different forms. Then choose from a variety of beginner projects—such as a mushroom, strawberry, gnome, frog, bee, rabbit, or fox—or create your own unique design with guidance from the instructor.
