Wool Felted Geode Zipper Necklace
Workshop - Textiles | Registration opens 2/10/2026 9:00 AM EST
Create a one-of-a-kind show-stopping necklace with wool beads, novelty beads and a zipper that will be the envy of your friends! Students will learn to wet-felt beads with wool fibers, and will also choose pre-made wool beads in colors to harmonize with the ones they make. Then they'll choose novelty beads and spacers to coordinate and assemble into a work of art they will wear with pride! A metal-teeth zipper provides the base for their design. Instructor will bring kits in many colors; students are welcome to bring their own beads as well to personalize their necklace. All supplies included. A fun and creative all-day class! Ages 14 and up. Instructor will break for lunch.
