HANKY PANKY WORKSHOP June 2022

by Fleur Riley

Nancy gave a very interesting talk about how the silk hankies were made and I’m sure the ladies went away with a different point of view about the silk worm.

Many methods were demonstrated by Nancy on how to use this very versatile little piece of silk.  They also learned the trick (to stop them sticky to every part of your hand) was to iron them.

Many different variations of scarves and wraps were achieved over the 2 day workshop. Some completely covered their silk with hankies whilst others chose to leave some silk exposed, giving a totally different result.

Hat Workshop with Sue Eslick

by Fleur Riley

The choice for the hats was endless.  As you can see by the many different styles of hats made.

Many different variaties were used to get the final look on their hats. Some choose to use silk tops, silk tissue or variegated wool.  The look was individual to each person who partipated.

The workshop ran very smoothly and fun was had by all.

All the ladies went home with their hats fully felted and drying of their hat blocks.
