Classes

Let's Go Fishing is a hands-on crafting class at Margaret Lane Gallery where participants learn to sculpt a three-dimensional goldfish ornament using wool fibers and specialized needles. Led by instructor Connie Swindoll, the session covers everything from selecting the right wool to shaping, texturing, and finishing your project. This workshop is designed for participants ages 13 and older, making it a great one-on-one date with your creative teenager. The registration fee is $70, which includes all necessary materials and instruction. The gallery is located in downtown Hillsborough, where you can find free street parking nearby or use the public lot on Margaret Lane. You do not need any prior crafting experience to attend. If you want to step away from screens and spend a focused, relaxing afternoon learning a tactile skill, this class offers a calm environment to do just that. You will leave with a finished ornament and the foundational skills to continue crafting at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need to bring our own crafting supplies to the gallery?
No, all the wool, needles, and tools required to make your goldfish ornament are included in the seventy-dollar registration fee.
Is this workshop suitable for younger children?
This class is strictly for ages 13 and older because needle felting involves using very sharp, barbed needles that require careful handling and focus.
