Feltmaking Workshops

Here are the dates I've set for felting workshops over the next six months.

Felting is an ancient art which involves the combination of animal fleece, soapy water and hand pressure to form a textile. Its great fun and very therapeutic. Felt can be used to make clothing, accessories, jewellery, blankets and sculpted pieces. On workshops I provide a wide range of coloured sheep fleece to work with and a selection of threads and yarns. These small courses are set around the farmhouse table with a maximum of four participants. We make two A4 sized flat pieces of feltwork suitable for framing or use as a wall hanging. Weather permitting will also visit my goats, and assuming a little cooperation on their part, take a snip of their fleece to use!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I Love your blog! Felting is something I am hoping to do more of. I just got 2 angora goats that I will be clipping in the spring and hope to do some fiber crafts with their hair. Its nice to read from people with similar interests in Ireland!
