Fun with Felting - Workshop 20th March 2011

Come and play with us in a wonderful day of creating with fibre and embellishments.  June Hope of JuJu will take you through a step by step to felting and you will create a beautiful piece of art cloth which you can use as a scarf or make into something else.  Using merino wool, alpaca and other natural fibres and being creative with embellishments, you will practice the technique of nuno felting.

Cost : $80 per person for the day.  Includes refreshments and a light lunch.

Bookings : Confirmed booking and payment in full to Rowena at Oatlands Handmade required by 12th March.  Enquiries  Ph 6254 1391 or oatlandshandmade@hotmail.com

Email me if you are interested and I'll send you the FULL details!
