Books and images to inspire, lots of finished felt examples and a feast of fleece to work with  encourages everyone to try felting a sample and then make a more advanced project.
Starting from the basics and quickly progressing.

We are keen to work with groups and individuals as and when we are asked or we identify a need for a training course.

We give talks to day time and evening groups such as Women’s Institutes, History Societies and Gardening clubs.

Please contact us if you would like us to develop a training course or talk for your organisation or group.

In 2005 Karen returned to the Jacksdale Community Garden willow sculpture, designed and planted with Moira Forsyth in 2004, to teach the B.A.D.J.E.R Community Group members how to take care of their sculpture and to replant the areas that had seen wear and tear.

Suitable for all ages - from summer holiday arts for infants, HomeStart parents and carers, to senior arts clubs.
Sufficiently involving to occupy a day or an afternoon, I bring a wide range of appealing and colourful papers, inks and equipment to ensure that everyone creates something unique.

Karen gives an informative, fun and entertaining evening demonstration on ‘Life as a Tudor Tiler’. Bringing artefacts to pass around, after making a medieval tile, I talk about how I became a re-enactor at Kentwell Hall and how my Tudor career path has seen me progress from a Gentry miniature painter down to my current role as Head of the Hovel....

We are planning to develop some historic buildings crafts courses - the uses of traditional lime mortar and lime wash, wattle and daub in historic buildings and traditional hair plaster. Mean while if you have any training needs that we could meet, please get in touch.
