Needle felting at Lymefield Arts & Crafts Centre

Always being ready to try something new, two of your committee members attended a workshop in needle felting, led by experienced textile artist Hannah Dodd.  There were four people in the group and our aim was to produce a needle felted bird - here they are:

We all think they are wonderful!  The wire legs and feet still need to be covered with wool but, whilst waiting, the birds thought they would have a snack.  Their creators gave each bird a name - mine is second from the left and Ann's is third from the left, with beautiful golden eyebrows.

As my little bird appears to have a humped back, he was named Richard the Bird.

The gallery at Lymefield is a great place to learn something new, so try to keep abreast of the workshops on offer.  An extra encouragement is that you receive a slice of Maxine's delicious cake!
