Valerie Wartelle Day School

Sunday was a busy day. Valerie took us through the process she uses to produce her work, showed us the technique she uses for laying on the fibres, gave us all a piece of pre-felt, took the lids off her boxes of wool tops to expose the rainbow of fibres and we started.
Most of us hadn't done any felting before and the technique was new to our experienced felters.
Here are some photographs, taken by Diane, of us all working hard, and some photographs of work in progress. Hopefully we will have some finished work to show at the AGM or to go in our exhibition.
At the end of the day Valerie held up our work, piece by piece and had something positive to say about each one.

All working hard, Valerie advising

Works in progress.
