The Roxbury Arts Group Announces Needle Felting with Elizabeth Yates April 11

STAMFORD — Members of the public have an exciting opportunity to learn how to work with wool to create designs with a unique look––and feel! Registration is now open for Needle Felting with Elizabeth Yates, a beginner's workshop that will take place on Saturday, April 11, 11a–2p, at Headwaters Arts Center in Stamford.

An introduction to fiber arts, this engaging workshop will explore the tactile qualities of wool and how to use a specialized needle to create a spring hyacinth design. All tools and materials will be provided for use in the workshop, and participants will take home their framed original artwork. This workshop is offered with tiered pricing at $45 | $65 | $80. For information on tiered pricing, visit roxburyartsgroup.org/equitypricing, and to register, visit https://roxburyartsgroup.org/workshops/needle-felting. .

Liz Yates is a needle felting artist whose work transforms loose wool fibers into detailed, two dimensional “paintings.” Drawing inspiration from nature, color combinations, and texture, she creates one-of-a-kind felted pieces that invite viewers to slow down and look closely.

She regularly exhibits and sells her work at art shows and festivals, where she enjoys connecting directly with collectors and fellow artists. In addition to her studio practice, Liz teaches needle felting workshops, guiding students through the process with an emphasis on creativity, patience, and playful experimentation.

This event is sponsored by Margaretville Telephone Company. All programs offered by the Roxbury Arts Group are supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the NYS Legislature, the A. Lindsay and Olive B. O’Connor Foundation, the Robinson Broadhurst Foundation, The Community Foundation for South Central New York, the Tianaderrah Foundation, The Delaware National Bank of Delhi, and individual supporters.
