We had an amazing time over the last few days experimenting and creating with Dutch felter Lyda Rump! All the participants had a brilliant time as Lyda is both an inspirational artist and a highly accomplished tutor. Over the next couple of days I will be uploading more images to Flickr and blogging about the workshops on Clasheen. Pop over there if you are interested in a little more information about what we all got up to from Friday to Sunday but here is an image of Gerd’s gorgeous hand dyed silk chiffon and merino neckpiece to get you inspired.

If this has got you interested in a bit of fibre experimenting why don’t you come along to the next ‘Pick up your Needles’ session on Sunday 21st February at the Tinahely Courthouse Arts Centre, Tinahely, Co. Wicklow? These great sessions are organised by Irene Lundgaard and Stephanie Kennedy, felting, knitting, crochet and spinning are on offer (obviously I am facilitating the felting!) and any workshop is available for the special price of E55 to include all materials plus ongoing tea, coffee and homemade cookies throughout the day!
