Catch Mary Griffiths of The Felt Works here:
Folksy, Facebook
Mary is based in Derbyshire and has been crafting on and off over the years. She owns The Felt Works, a shop on Folksy. Recently she has focussed more on the wonderful art of felting - transforming a bundle of fluffy wool into a bag, slippers, necklace or brooch has become a bit of an obsession for her! Mary's friends became interested in her obsession and after a fun evening (including a bottle of wine or two), and much elbow grease, her friends successfully produced some lovely items that they were proud to take home.
This spurred Mary on to run workshops for others, holding them at a ceramic painting studio in her local town.
There are fun and friendly workshops available for adults and children. Sessions shown in the photographs are of children painting a ceramic egg cup and then adding a felt egg cosy to sit on top and of adults making a fabulous felted handbag.
Mary's way of felting makes it very easy for her clients to go away and continue with the process - there's no specialist equipment needed. Often people will come back to the studio to show her what else they have made at home.
There are felting workshops planned right through Summer and into Autumn. These will include making slippers, scarves, Autumnal home decorations and Christmas crafts, all for adults and children. Keep an eye on The Felt Works' Facebook page to catch the latest news.
