We are so pleased to announce that Pamela MacGregor will be joining us for 2 fantastic workshops in October.  We are privileged to be using the Cow Shed Studio at Farmleigh  for both of these workshops.  Located in the beautiful Phoenix Park, Dublin. Techniques Sample

 

 

 

 

 

The first will be the Techniques Workshop that will explore innovative as well as traditional wet felting techniques.  They will be neatly bound into  a beautiful sample book. You will make many felt samples using traditional and non-traditional methods.  Each felt sample will be as unique as it’s maker.  This class will give you a solid base in felting techniques that can be applied to your future two or three dimensional felting projects.
