On Sunday, the 20th of September, twenty members enjoyed a delightful morning of needle felting with guild member and artist Eva Salamon, learning how to create their own charming felted owls.

Eva guided the group through the process, demonstrating techniques for shaping and building the owl from wool fibre.

There was plenty of concentration, creativity and, no doubt, a few individual personalities emerging as the owls took shape!
