Raewyn Penrose workshop - expressions of interest
Hi Fellow Felters
Southern Felters is hoping to host a workshop with Raewyn Penrose in March. Raewyn does beautiful felt work and she is going down our way.
Barbara King is coordinating things for Southern Felters and is asking for expressions of interest so we can gauge numbers. If you are interested in attending please contact Barbara directly.

The workshop will probably cover a range of techniques and
attendees will produce a variety of samples. It will cost approximately
$100 per day and probably run for 2 days. The samples are usable in other
projects and Raewyn will explain this in the workshops. The samples workshops
give you an opportunity to learn different skills and not just focus on one
thing. Dates at this stage are either 7th and 8th March or a date in
the middle of March depending on Raewyn's plans (probably a weekend).
It is also possible Raewyn will also do a workshop in Timaru. Let Barbara know if you are interested in this as we aren't sure who will organise this.
