Felt Making at Bolton Muslim Girls' School
Here are some photos from my recent workshops with Year 7. Over a number of weeks the girls learned how to make flat felt, felt balls and 3D felt vessels using a plastic resist. They then planned, designed and carried out their own individual project. Some wonderful and creative artefacts were made! These photos were taken during the session on making 3-dimensional felt around a plastic resist.

Twittering and Wittering
Having succumbed to pressure, I am now on Twitter as @JaneSFlanagan.
In other exciting news, I have booked to teach a Wonderful Weekend of Weaving at Waddow Hall, Clitheroe from February 21-3rd 2014. This is a residential workshop on a full-board basis in the glorious Lancashire countryside, and an opportunity to immerse oneself in the joys of loom weaving! All levels welcome, with or without your own loom! More details coming soon but don't hesitate to get in touch to express an interest without obligation, and I will keep you fully au fait with all developments!
