On Saturday, March 17, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., Foothills Equestrian Nature Center will offer a needle felting class.

Local fiber artist Irene Heckel will lead this spring-themed class, in which attendees will create needle felted Easter eggs.

Attendees will create multiple eggs, and are encouraged to bring along their own small basket to display their finished work.
