CARDS I will continue to sell cards - those below are just a few designs painted by my son Thomas who is a research scientist in Australia. Painting is his relaxation and an antidote to looking down a microscope. Cards are £3.50 each including an envelope and postage is included. A selection of my own cards can be seen at The Surrey Guild shop in Milford. You will find some of my own designs are listed on www.silkpurseguild.com in packs of five or eight - obviously a saving on ordering them individually.
WORKSHOPS I don't timetable classes but just agree dates with everyone individually. These are the current workshops, all a great introduction to wetfelting with a resist (essentially making a 3D item) Loving Lavender - heart shaped sachets for you to add your own scent, whether lavender or something else. And you can make them in any colour you like! A Rose by any other Name - make a small rose-topped trinket pot (as above) Pods and Pots - producing a bowl or 'pod' big enough to gather small items Gone to Seed - smaller pods with a seed and tendrils to use as a room scent (as in the top picture) Fun with Felt Flowers - two felt flower brooches: another great workshop for those relatively new to felting. These classes are 3 hours long (often run over) and cost £45.00 including all materials. I also offer a £10 discount for your own workshop if you bring a friend with you. A two-hour workshop making lavender hearts is also available. Cosy Mitts - fingerless mitts in 2-3 colours with or without a decorative design. These classes will resume in the autumn. I am no longer running Memories Baskets workshops after May 2022.
MEMORIES BASKETS MADE FOR YOU Baskets can be made specially for you. I call these Memories Baskets because they are made of fabrics that mean something special to you. This is a much better way to 'hoard' them, than a box of old clothes! I can also make baskets in my own fabrics (or a mixture of both yours and mine) to match your colour preferences.
GIFT TOKENS Stuck for a gift? Why not give someone a gift token? Gift tokens are available for £10.00 - you can buy as many as you like to cover part or the whole cost of a workshop or a read-made item
