22nd August  12-4pm @ the Craft Village  - Heather Wilson

Using traditional hand felting techniques and simple stitch, each participant will create their own unique textile art piece in soft hand dyed merino, silk tops and natural fibres. Northern Ireland is surrounded by lush greenery, rolling drumlins and heather-topped mountains.  It is this incredible natural beauty that will be used to inspire the colour and texture of the felted landscapes.  8 places available in this workshop, all materials provided.
