Lancaster Craftivists
Tonight was the first group event for the Lancaster Craftivists, at the local Gregson Arts Centre. I recently set up the group to help bring attention to the Craftivist Movement in this area, whilst hopefully meeting other like-minded people within the community.
Functional Fibres
During a regular trip to Grasmere earlier this year, I picked up some beautiful Herwick tops, which had been stored away all summer waiting for a flash of inspiration. A warm feeling in the pit of my stomach emerged, as I came across them during a sort through some boxes. I decided to play around with the wool using a felting needle, and see what I could come up with.
