Children from between the ages of 6 to 11yrs created a series of felted flowers in tropical hot pink merino wools(Falkland Isles)and dark green Piiki wools (Finland).The work will be exhibited at the Joseph Banks Conservatory on 2010.

Stones Place (residential home for the elderly)- Workshop 3

I worked alongside the elderly and infirm at this residential home. It was a very challenging workshop as the adults enjoyed holding the tactile materials, but dexterity was an issue with may needing support from carers to perform small tasks. Overall the atmosphere was happy and relaxed but the adults found feltmaking very modern and difficult to accomplish.
