During our glorious long HOT summer I'm sure making FELT was the
last thing on everyones' minds, including mine...
Now I can't believe it's the first of September!
The weather is still very warm but lengthening shadows and
the early morning dew signal a definite change.
AUTUMN has to be my most favourite time of year...
and this new season of workshops takes inspiration from the
colours and textures changing all around us...
Here are some dates for your notice board...

wanting to make for ages but needed the time and space to make it happen!

There will be no demonstration at the start of the day, just an
