3rd October 2017 by Jax Blunt 1 Comment

First Tuesday of the month meeting, for the first time in a while (it doesn't run in school holidays, and got caught out in September by inset days).

First meet of the year, a workshop run by a felting expert. Now, I'm reasonably familiar with felt after my Kentwell experience, but I'm never going to pass up on the chance to work with an expert, and this turned out to be great fun.
