I seem to have missed out a month this year! I'm afraid September came and went without any posts. It's not that there wasn't anything to write about - quite the opposite - I just simply ran out of days!
Last Saturday saw another wonderful Scarf Workshop at Oliven in Newport! The great thing about making scarves is that they can be felted, finished and wearable in a day BUT they do take a lot of effort. This class is for all abilities and there were some great results, with everyone experimenting with different textures and fabrics as you can see from this small selection of photos of work in progress...
We have another Scarf Workshop planned at Oliven for the end of October and there are more details here.
As well as the usual programmes of workshops at Newport & Brading we are holding a couple of workshops with a distinctly Halloween theme at the Alpaca Farm on the 31st October. It's also half term so these workshops are aimed at young felt makers. We have morning and afternoon sessions making 'Felt Pictures' and 'Felt Jewellery' and there are more details and booking information here...
With Halloween in mind here is an appropriate picture to finish…
Dorothy's Wolf is felted entirely from Alpaca fibres!
