Needle felting workshop -Haslingden

Just ran a workshop with a carers group in Haslingden. My friend Chris was staying with me for a few days and therefore got roped in to be my apprentice technician.

I had 12 students, with some of them being fairly experienced crafters and some with no experience, all seemed to enjoy the session.

Some produced brooches, some cards and a few started boxes. I don't think 5 hours is enough time to complete a project, however they all took what they had produced, with materials to complete it at home.

Chris and I were fed meat and potato pie, cheese and onion pie, mushy peas and mince pies and tarts. A bit heavy on the pastry-bang went my diet!!!- but very welcome as it saved taking a lunch box.

A very enjoyable day with lovely people!!!

A few photos below-

I also took samples of my encaustic jewellery as the group want me to run a further workshop next February.
