Sheila Smith Felting July 2012

We have certainly finished off this year on a high point with a talk and workshop by Sheila Smith. Her talk on Wednesday evening was very inspirational and was really well attended. Those lucky enough to  obtain a place on her workshop on Thursday had a wonderful time creating a piece of textured felt using the shibori method.
