| The
first workshop at the "Moore Workshop Space at the Blue Knob
Hall Gallery.
We have just had our first workshop in the new "Moore Workshop
Space" at the Blue knob Hall. What better way to start than
with Polly Stirling (Wild Turkey Feltmakers) giving a felt making
workshop. Polly is one of the original creators of this form and
is now world famous for her work and teaching skills and the creation
of her own individual designs.
Polly
had 10 people do their introduction to felt making by producing
a felt hand bag. They began by selecting wool, designing and creating
their piece and then doing the hard work of the felting process
which entails rolling and pounding the wool, wrapped in sturdy
bubble wrap for an extended time till the mysterious process occurs
which creates the magical finished product . The whole process
takes all of 6 hours for the participants to complete and the
results were quite beautiful.
The
new workshop space is available for a small price per hour of
$6.00 or $36.00 for a 6 hour day. Please ring Blue Knob Hall 66897449
Thursday to Sunday 10am-4pm. There must be many people with skills
they would like to share with the community in this wonderful
space.
