On November 18, 2021, Second Street Gallery hosted Introduction to Needle Felting with Tobiah Mundt, a hands-on and in-person workshop in the Main Gallery. During this workshop with artist Tobiah Mundt, participants had the opportunity to practice core needle felting techniques and worked on a project where they learned to “paint” with wool to create abstract landscapes. Attendees had access to individual materials (felting needles and felting work surfaces) to practice needle felting as well as some shared materials to play with a variety of wool colors.
