A quick eNews to catch everyone up on the latest COVID rules and consequences. In consultation with Martien and the participants - we decided to shift Martien's sold out Felt Adorned: Jewellery and Sculpture on a Precious Scale workshop to April 3rd & 4th. The obligation to wear masks all day whilst teaching and learning was a major factor in making this decision and we apologise to those who had enrolled but can't do the new dates. But this means there are opportunities for those who missed out on places to attend - if you get in early! What a fabulous way to spend a couple of days over the Easter break - felting and learning. Bookings have re-opened on the web site.
