We’re very excited to be taking part in the Chelsea Fringe for the first time this year. This alternative garden festival, which grew up around the Chelsea Flower Show, runs from 16 May to 7 June 2015, with events and happenings all over London, not just Chelsea.
Carol and Kim from Women of the Cloth are going to be running a felting workshop at the South London Botanical Institute on Saturday 30 May. Participants will be able to make either a needle felted bird or a wet felted bird pod – all materials provided.
The birds are made by needle felting, where you work the fibres together with a barbed needle to make a sculpted shape.
The pods are made using the wet felting technique, where you lay fleece around a resist and felt it by rubbing and rolling with soap and water.
Age 8+. Cost £10 inc materials. Please book in advance by emailing info@slbi.org.uk
