March blew in the changes at Heartfelt Studio.
We ventured into a whole new area for us. Hen parties....
These days not everyone’s idea of a good hen party is a boozy night...this was a hen party with a difference. 17 lovely ladies arrived at Heartfelt wearing pinnies and waving feather dusters and were delighted that the theme of the ‘Teddy Bears Picnic’ flowed through from the ‘Squirt’ ( the baby yurt ) right through to the food yurt and onto the luxury of the felt filled stove warmed Heartfelt Yurt.
The girls had a toast to the ‘hen’ with the popping of champagne corks in the comfort of the yurt and then headed over to the workshop to begin learning several new skills.
Each ‘hen’ designed and made a felt piece for a large wall hanging for the future Mr. and Mrs. Great fun was had by all the new designers who found the transformation from fluffy wool to felted panel amazing.
Gina Lillycrop designs www.ginalillycropdesigns.co.uk joined forces with Heartfelt to provide 2 tutors of great experience to lead the willing participants in their journey of discovery. Gina demonstrated and assisted with the latest tools for shape cutting from America, The Slice Fabrique . Each lady created their own bag design on their take home ‘goodie bag’.
A welcome break for refreshments and home bakes was blessed with sunshine in the glass dome and yurt. Circular shapes playing a prominent part in the landscape at Heartfelt Studio.
Refreshened , the ladies embellished their felt pictures with felting needles and embellishers and needles and threads. A large selection of buttons for a teddies ear were much appreciated.
The fun and laughter was infectious and everyone was reluctant to head off to the bus that was taking the ‘hens ‘ off to Glasgow on their next part of the adventure...but that is another story...
Heartfelt Studio is willing and very able to provide a very interesting ‘workshop celebration day’ from special birthdays to wedding parties. Email Liz for more details info@heartfeltbyliz.com
