Wendo Van Essen

I had an amazing career in animation and before the computer took over the hand drawn elements of animation, I traveled all over the world working on features and television shows.  As I travelled, I studied different creative arts;  silk embroidery in Korea, batik dyeing in Singapore, pottery in Phoenix and finally in Berlin I found the art of felt making.  So, in 2002, I began creating wooly sculptures and landscapes, making needle felting kits and most enjoyably….teaching the art of Needle Felting.  I love teaching this passion because it’s SO simple and everyone can do it!  The felting needle can be used almost as a paint brush to create multiple layers of depth in a landscape or as a carving tool to make the 3 dimensional art I love so much.
