monday morning once a month, Julie comes to inspire our residents with her wonderful art and craft sessions. today was no exeption - she brought an amazing array of fibres/wool and equipment, in order to demonstrate the art of feltmaking. we were lucky that our two lovely volunteers, elizabeth and joan, come on monday mornings and they were able to help out the residents! Julie showed them how to make 'beads' first of all which when dry we will be able to thread and make necklaces. next, the residents learned how to make 'flat' felt shapes and we hope to be able to make some collage art in the next session in october. we have arranged an autumn/xmas fayre in october (28th to be exact) and all the items residents have made over the past few months will be on display and for sale.
i took some photos, and the best of them are here!
