Learn something new in 2010!

Feltmaking Workshops in Abbotsbury, Dorset

Held either at my studio at 13 Market Street, right in the centre of the village, or in the village hall (‘Strangways Hall).  There is some parking outside on the street or you could park in the Ilchester Arms Car Park.

At the moment, I normally run workshops only for special groups - if you have a group of 3 or 4 friends (or more) we can arrange something at a mutually agreed date - which should be preferably during the week.  Contact me for more details (mary-clare.buckle@1-art-1.com or 01305-871561)

But ... don’t hesitate to contact me if you are just an individual, because you might well be able to join a course with someone else.

Cost for my workshops

£57 including wool (but excluding silk chiffon, if you’re making a Nuno silk scarf) ... unless you come for two days, in which case it will be £97 for 2 days.

Some concessions available (eg for young people/students) - please contact me.



The first of the 2 days will be basic feltmaking. The next day will be a little more advanced. You can do just the first day, just the second day, or both days!

You can either work on a project of your own with my help; or I will be teaching one of the following techniques: making a seamless bag with integral handle, a simple hat; slippers (more difficult), or nuno felt (felting onto muslin or silk chiffon- makes gorgeous scarves), depending on what gets the most votes!
Please also state your preference of what you would like to learn on the second day, if you are coming for 2 days.

If you need help with accommodation, please let me know, I have 2 friends in the village who run lovely B&B's for a very good price ....


On the workshop, you should bring with you:

·
Something for lunch (or there is a very good sandwich bar next door to us)
·
old towels
·
rubber gloves (if you don’t like prolonged contact with water)
·
any feltmaking wool (‘sliver’) or interesting fibres
·
any felt you have already made

Plus, if you have them, (I can provide if not) -

·
a reed beach mat/bubble wrap (about 50cm sq)
·
piece of net curtain
·
a bar of olive oil soap (available to buy from me)

In winter, it can be cold – so bear that in mind when choosing what to wear.

Any questions, please give me a ring on the number below.
