Two needle felt workshops in GalGael

 Needle fellted butterflies  An opportunity to felt for beginners Come along to GalGael and get creative with colourful sheep's wool fibres on Thursday, the 27th of June 2013, 4-5.30pm. This is one of two felt workshops, run by Laryna (Woolcraft volunteer in Galgael.) The second workshop will be on Thursday, the 11th of July, 4-5.30pm. You will learn how to use a felt needle to sculpture the wool with the felt needle and create e.g. a little animal or a figure, or even start to sculpture a face; create a fairy, jewellery or any other 2- or 3 dimensional item. It's fun, I love it and like to share my skills with anybody being interested. Children are welcome and need to be accompanied by an adult. The sessions can be booked separately. No previous experience necessary.
