Class 2) FELTING AND HOOKING a three-hour workshop with Jennifer Davey

Felting is probably the most ancient way to make fabric and Jenn will teach different ways to incorporate it into hooked work. There will be examples of different pieces she has created and participants will have a chance to work on their own simple piece.

Jennifer Davey will introduce the basics of wet felting and a bit of needle felting and then the group will make a partly hooked, partly felted mug rug.
