"It was really lovely taking part in a felting workshop at Boomtown Festival! It was so amazing learning how to needle felt and chatting to you. You were so helpful and the whole experience was super theraputic! I even bought my own felting kit when I got home! Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful craft. Can't wait to take part in another one of your workshops." Lara

Felt-craft Workshops 2018
Wet-felting workshops at the Wool Croft, Hearts of the Valleys, Papillon, Boomtown and Sunrise Festivals. Also at various Women's Institute craft groups around Monmouthshire. Lots of fun with fleece, soap, water, oranges and a pop sock!
This collaborative piece was made as part of a Welsh Arts commission to celebrate an exhibiton in Chepstow Museum of famous artists' depictions of Tintern Abbey. Over the course of 8 weeks a wonderful group of 'crafty' ladies helped create this amazing textile. For a few months it was exhibited beside Turners, Palmers and Pipers!
This felted 'painting' was also created, using both wet and dry felting techniques, with the help of some lovely volunteers over an 8 week period during Summer, 2014 to commemorate a unique exhibition of famous paintings and prints of Llanthony Priory, in a collection at Abergavenny Museum.
