SUPER SPIKY VESSELS !!

Jenny Pepper's Amazing Workshop

One of Jenny's fabulous samples

Last weekend members of Feltmakers North had a great weekend learning some of Jenny's techniques to create amazing 3D shapes.  Jenny presented a number of techniques and we were able to choose which ones we'd like to incorporate into our vessels.  From spikes and craters to bumps and hollows, we had such fun learning and then making the vessels.

Craters galore from Jenny

Jenny took us through each stage of our creations so that we were all working in harmony and by the end of the first day, things had begun to look very weird!  Then when we returned on Sunday morning the hard work began as we spent lots of time rubbing away to secure each of the additions to our base.

By late afternoon the  vessels were finally born and lots of great pieces began to emerge.

Our thanks to Jenny for travelling from Scarborough to share her skills with Feltmakers North and to our super workshop secretary Pleasuance for organizing everything.

Had to get a good angle for the shot!

It'll be so good to see all the creations finally dry and shaped at our Show n Tell  bit of next week's Felt-in on the 19th.  A wee reminder please to bring all your prefelts from last month so we can continue to build the collection for the Community Arts Project.

Don't forget,  coffee at 10.00 and 10.15 the fun begins!!  See you all then.
