Create a unique piece of art out of locally sourced alpaca fiber at Needlefelt Snowman on Monday, Dec. 1 from 5 to 8 p.m. in The Studio.

Stephanie Block of Sundrop Alpacas will walk students through the needlefelting process to make a snowman, which can be customized to make them look authentic, whimsical or anything in between. The class is perfect for those wanting to learn a new art form.

*A $15 discount is available during registration for those who bring their own needlefelting tools.
