Beautiful results at the Nuno Scarf workshop on 12th May




 Its encouraging to see what goes on at the workshops in the gallery. So for those who have made enquires, I hope these photos give you a taste of the process involved. The ladies taking part in this Nuno Scarf workshop were very keen to extend their skills and understanding of the wet felt process but the less experienced need not fear as Alison's expertise and approach makes for an interesting and enjoyable day and the resulting felt items, impressive.  Next Nuno Scarf Workshop at West End Gallery Thursday 26th July  10.00am to 30.00pm -  Cost - £45.00 


The coloured merino wool and silk chiffon is selected.

 



                                   
                                                                




The felt is wetted.
                                                                                 





The wet wool is rubbed and rolled for felting to take place.




  




 Alison's Nuno Scarves with chiffon can be purchased in the gallery. Cost £50.00
