Hello Again

Apologies for not posting for so long here at Felt Central.

We do have the excuse of being a tad busy with the 11th Southern Hemisphere Felting Convergence. But that seem so long ago now and whilst it was all fun and fabulous we now must be off to our next adventure in felt and we certainly have not been letting the grass grow under our feet.

Many thanks to Kerri, who was organising our stall at the Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School fare at the weekend.  We'll hear more from her shortly about how we did there.

We'll also be bringing you some pictures from the Stirling Street Arts Centre annual Fire, Fibre and Fine Arts exhibition.   So keep reading.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of the felt on display at the Convergence -

And these are from FeltWEST's fabulous display there -

All fabulous felt things.  We bought lots!!

Textile Fibre Forum

We have just subscribed to Textile Fibre Forum magazine and the latest issue will be in our library this Friday.

It will give us an insight into all that's best in Australian textile arts and will be an excellent resource. 

It's not for borrowing and has to stay in the library but make sure you have a good look through it on our meeting days.  If you do want to spend more time reading it then get your own subscription by clicking here or look for it in the newsagents.  It's a first rate publication and we really should help to support it.

August Show and Talk

Thanks to everyone who brought something in to our show and talk session.

Welcome to new member Anne who brought in some of her felt for us to see.

Thanks Anne for showing us your work.  We're looking forward to doing some felting with you.

Also thanks to Maureen for modelling for us.

August Meeting - Natural Dying

Many thanks to Val who demonstrated some natural dying techniques for us to try and thanks to everyone who brought in steamers and plant material. 

We are looking forward to seeing all the results at next months show and talk.
