Join us for a crafty morning of felted ornaments hosted by Michelle Provencal. In this workshop, we will use basic needle felting techniques to create three-dimensional oyster shell ornaments with layered natural coloring and hand sewn embellishments. The end result is a life like oyster shell ornament that you can cherish for years to come.

Michelle is a Maine based home décor designer with over 20 years experience designing for well known home brands including Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, and Arhaus. In 2017 she launched Thirdlee & Co. as a home for her newly created needle-felted designs. Thirdlee handcrafted ornaments are recognized for their sophisticated treatment of seaside themes and attention to detail.
