Visitors Welcome

Some of us have been at the Felters' Convergence in Auckland.  We have new techniques and hundreds of ideas all jumbled up in our heads waiting to get out. Photos from Convergence below. Also, some of us attended Wendy Bailye's course on surface collage a couple of weekends ago, which included felting paper onto the surface of felt.

What is the collective noun of a group of felters?????

The south Islanders at Convergence.  Around 90 felters attended
