Half day and full day workshop artful felted birds and felted fleeces

Does spring inspire you? lengthening evenings and the sweet singing of the birds?
This Thursdays half day workshop on birds of a feather may just be right up your street...

Using stitching, recycling and felting creating birds from the whacky to the familiar.
Have fun and learn some new innovative ideas in the beautiful setting of Dalmally Railway Station.





Saturday is an exciting day working on local fleeces and breeds of sheep.
Create a rug in just one day using this amazing technique to felt a 'false skin' onto a whole fleece.
Why ?
A machine washable thick and warm gift from the sheep every year.
Therapeutic  to the body to sit on or lie on.
Warm and comfortable.

Come on have a go... If you have no fleeces of your own we have some lovely hebridean fleeces to try.

Fabulous footwear

A great day full of felting fun, no mean feat ( sorry about the pun ) to achieve a sturdy pair of slippers at the end of a days work. Lots was learned about wool types and our lovely native wools and stories shared with one another confirming once again to me in particular that Argyll is a hotbed of talented people.
some photos of the days work follows .

No bingo wings for any of these ladies who worked extremely hard, well done and take a well deserved rest today.
