Two felt workshops for the "Journey on" participants in GalGael

I know GalGael in Glasgow-Ibrox for 6 years and I love this place! Here people are trained in traditional crafts, boats are built and an open hearted community is created over many years. 
I am a wool craft volunteer in GalGael, joining the clan on most Thursday late afternoons till late.
In February and March I facilitated 2 felt workshops on Fridays for participants of the "JOURNEY ON" program. 
It was good fun and everybody went home with a mostly colourful self made item from felted wool. 
During the first workshop the participants learned about the basics of wet felting and applied it. They created a firmly felted solid ball or stone shaped item and a flat felt from colourful fluffy sheep's wool. 

Firmly felted balls and stones

Colourful flat felts

In the second felt workshop those, who had learned and applied the basic wet felt skills in the first workshop went on learning how to felt a seamless felted pouch. 

Seamless pouches and more balls and flat felts

Good fun to make the pouches firm and strong by banging them on the table. Yes, that helps!

Afternoon felt workshop in Galgael, in Ibrox / Glasgow Thursday, the 12th of Dec. 4-5.30pm

Felting is a traditional skill that has been practiced for thousands of years. We still practice it here in GalGael and are happy to teach you how to do it!

The aim of this workshop is to learn the basic skills of traditional wet felting, using natural and colourful sheep’s wool fibers, warm water, soap and friction.
 
You will:
● learn to felt a flat piece e.g. a little picture,
a felted piece for a brooch or a felted flower
● experiment with colours and design
● take home a unique piece of hand made felt.

At the end of the workshop you will have your own felted items and have learned a new and traditional skill.
Please bring 1 towel and a plastic bag for your finished work.

Cost: £5 including material
Please feel free to invite your friends!
