I have just returned from an inspiring weekend workshop (organised by Feltmakers Ireland) with Australian sculptor and feltmaker Anita Larkin. We were learning several different techniques, making balls, making cords, covering an item and creating pieces with multiple layers (via multiple resists). If this sounds like work that you may already have done WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT POST! Because of the need to conserve water in Australia Anita works in a slightly different manner, so obvious once you see it in action and I will explain a bit more tomorrow as soon as I have caught up with some urgent work on the Irish Green Gathering.
