Everyone Welcome!

Our new programme starts on the Saturday 16th September, and we are looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces! We will be making name badges with Dorothy Dinsmore, this is a great chance to learn the basic technique of felt making, and yet make something that people will be able to identify you with!! We hope everyone will wear their felt names badges each month so we can all get to know each other names. Dont worry if you have never felted before we have starter kits made up which are available to buy, plus we have a good supply of some lovely colours of wool to tempt you!
In October we are offering a great day to learn felting and take it a bit further. This workshop is all day and is called the Basic and Beyond, we will start with making basic felt in different varieties of native wool. Later in the day we will make felt encorporating a few techniques, again all the materials necessary for this are included in the price of £ 12 for members and £15 for non members another great value workshop from Feltmakers North, all made possible by the generous support of Lisburn Arts Advisory Centre.
September's felt in will be well worth a visit as all the information will be available for the next three months, and if there are any questions you can always ask one of the committee! There will also be the opportunity to become a member and take advantage of the benefits of being a member, every felt in no charge, priority on workshops also workshops at a reduced rate. Plus some of the workshops the committee are planning are very exciting so Im sure you do not want to miss out!
I would like to thank you for logging on to our blog and I am very pleased to say we now have had over 10,000 hits which is great, some from USA, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, so hello to everyone and keep logging on!
Take care everyone and see you all soon.
