The first workshop at the "Moore Workshop Space at the Blue Knob Hall Gallery.

We have just had our first workshop in the new "Moore Workshop Space" at the Blue knob Hall. What better way to start than with Polly Stirling (Wild Turkey Feltmakers) giving a felt making workshop. Polly is one of the original creators of this form and is now world famous for her work and teaching skills and the creation of her own individual designs.

Polly had 10 people do their introduction to felt making by producing a felt hand bag. They began by selecting wool, designing and creating their piece and then doing the hard work of the felting process which entails rolling and pounding the wool, wrapped in sturdy bubble wrap for an extended time till the mysterious process occurs which creates the magical finished product . The whole process takes all of 6 hours for the participants to complete and the results were quite beautiful.

The new workshop space is available for a small price per hour of $6.00 or $36.00 for a 6 hour day. Please ring Blue Knob Hall 66897449 Thursday to Sunday 10am-4pm. There must be many people with skills they would like to share with the community in this wonderful space.
