This dynamic group of fiber artists were last with us in 2009 and will have a beautiful display for you to browse with leaflets of their forthcoming events and hopefully demonstrating their skills on most Friday mornings.  So please do come along to have a chat with them and share your experiences.

Workshop bookings for wool and willow

There is still time to book on some of our workshops; a few of you may be disappointed though because a number have been well and truly chokka block for quite some time! These 1 day workshops are incredibly good value in this day and age - in fact I'm not sure we'll be able to hold our prices for next year so.... time to make good on all those New Year resolutions and COME LEARN A NEW SKILL!!!

Excellent course - I enjoyed every minute.  Joanna is friendly, patient and extremely generous with her knowledge.  Wonderful introduction to Rigid Heddle weaving - I can't wait for more! 

Sadly prospective wool spinners and willow sculpturers are out of luck for the Festival (though if you really would like to learn we'll happily pass your details to our tutors for their mailing lists.

There's hope however for potential willow platter weavers, needlefelters, rag ruggers and knitters. So get in touch. But do it quickly there's only 2 weeks left of this fabulous festival and time takes no prisoners! Altogether now: www.woolandwillowfestival.org/workshops.html
