Transformation

Feltmakers North's first exhibition opened last night at The Island Arts Centre, Lisburn, the exhibition looked amazing in the ideal setting of the The Arts Centre. Friends and family plus the vice lady mayor of Lisburn came along to see the varied forms that felt can take. As you can imagine an exhibition like this takes a lot of organising so we had \Dorothy Dinsmore head up our Exhibition sub committee. Below are some of the committee helping exhibit the pieces!
                                                             

 We were all delighted with the response of our members they rose to the challenge and produced some amazing pieces from; vessels, wall hangings, dresses, chess set, tea set, teddies and even a penguin! The exhibition is on until the end of the month so please call in and have a look!
                                                                






 
 It was also a good chance for all the members to socialise and catch up with each other!



            


In this photo I am helping Jane try on a beautiful scarf made by Lesley Blackstock, which Jane went on to buy and was absolutely delighted with her purchase!
                                                          
When all the work was done it was time to relax and have a laugh!
 
Feltmakers North will have a stand at The Creative Stitch Show, Belfast starting on Thursday 18th and running till Saturday 20th April. We will still be having our monthly felt in in Hillsborough Village hall, on Saturday 20th at 10,15. Ann and Barbara will be taking the felt in and the topic will be felted pens! We look forward to meeting you soon.
