It's been a whirlwind of activity since Dawn's arrival in Ireland last week, both days of nuno felt hat making went like a dream, congratulations to all the participants who felted such amazing hats and thanks to Dawn for her fabulous teaching!!! Here are some highlights from the last seven days, more pics to follow later in the week.

A marvellous find in Wexford town, expensive but then I've always wanted a copper boiler for natural printing!!!

Wow Maureen!
This hat is titled 'leftie', all wool laid out with my left hand just to prove to Maureen that I could!!!

Beautiful hats and beautiful smiles all round

Beautiful work everyone. It truly looks like you all had so much fun.
What a joy to be here in Ireland…..I’ve loved every minute. Thank you so much for the invitation to teach here Nicola. The workshop participants were so creative and made such lovely hats and it was a joy to meet them all.
So beautiful hats and happy faces of creative ladies. Enjoy viewing the visit of Dawn in Ireland with you Nicola.
I want to learn everything !!
Gorgeous! I’m just discovering nuno felting – bought your (and Chris’s) book about it yesterday – really useful; thank you! (And surprisingly easy to download!)
Nuno felting (in fact all felting) is addictive!
Three pieces later … I have to agree!
