Felt Making workshop

Another in the series of summer school workshops this week at the Bristol Folk House, this time felt making. Most of the group were completely new to felt making and came away with some amazing results. 

No more classes planned this year at the moment, however I will be running an 8 week course in the new year at Backwell School. It's Monday evening 7 -9 pm and starts on 23rd Jan 2012 (half term break 13/2/12)

We began with a basic square of felt and then tried of variety of techniques including creating straight edges, pockets, nuno felt, cobweb, felt balls and tubes (for making buttons)

A selection of the finished work from the day:

More Lino printing... look what my talented students made

Just finished a lino printing class at the Bristol Folk House and took lots of photos of what this talented bunch of beginners did. I wish I took more as there were lots of other great ones.

I particularly like this one...

Skirt in a Day Workshop

The results from the recent 'Skirt in a day' workshop that I ran at the Folk House, Bristol. Some really great results, most people had hardly sewn before, one person never before, but still went home with a finished skirt! I particularly like the one with the curved bottom.
