This last Saturday was the December guild meeting - and was run in a slightly different way. Each of the study groups (who meet at various other times during each month) had a table and were invited to bring along examples of our work, and provide demos/hands on guidance to anyone interested in trying something new.

I was able to take some time to visit one of the felting groups - they letting members try their hand at felting by creating a book mark out of merino wool they had brought along. One of them was easily talked into a challenge of trying out my own Clun Forest wool to see how it compared with Merino. With a lot of skill (making it look easy) some of my wool was quite readily converted into a [somewhat large] book mark.

The felting success was good news - as our first attempts didn't fill us with confidence that the wool would felt. It turns out to all be in the technique - so we can now proceed and make some felt products to add to the output. More in the future.
