Needle Felted Succulent Series: Star Cactus

Want an adorable little houseplant that you’ll never have to water and you can’t kill? Join Ari (they/them) to needle felt a star cactus (Astrophytum asterias, also called sand dollar cactus, sea urchin cactus, and star peyote). We’ll use a specialized notched needle to sculpt dyed wool, and “plant” our cacti in real mini terra cotta pots. You’ll learn to create three-dimensional forms and add details, and you’ll develop the foundational skills to continue needle felting at home. You’ll come away with a cactus to keep or give as a gift, as well as a felting mat and needle of your own.

This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate students. It is a stand-alone class, but also part of a series- come back for more and construct a whole succulent garden!
