A description of the section
At the last meeting on 7th March we enjoyed the first of a two part workshop with Annie. The first part covered mordanting, with the second part of dyeing with natural dyes to follow (date to be arranged, but probably in June).
It was a productive day, as can be seen from these photo’s. Thanks Annie.
Well done ladies for representing us. You look like you are enjoying yourselves, and the Loaghtan around, too – just perfect.
Photos from the pre-Christmas felting workshop on 15th December. Thanks Sue for showing us how to make a felted bowl and Helen for leading the needle felting. As usual a joyous and festive workshop with nibbles and festive goodies to boot. Thanks all.
What a fantastic show, with good crowds, a great display on the theme of “autumn”, demonstrations of spinning and weaving, and the rain held off until everything was cleared away after the event.

Members of the Guild came together in the preparation, felting and finishing of a rainbow hanging which epitomised the theme of summer for the Royal Show this year along with colourful bunting spelling out the Guild’s name. There were exciting and beautiful items on display to attract the many visitors who showed great interest in our various crafts. With the weather holding fair, the weekend was a great success.
