Its been a very quiet week - we've still only one person booked on our little felt making workshop on the 23rd. Its a bit disappointing but we've come to a number of conclusions about this:
- Its the wrong time of year - start of the school holidays
- Financial climate
- Not many people are aware of what felt making is
- A whole day's workshop is too long to start off with
- Cost
- Hold the next on in the autumn
- Run the workshop for just 1/2 a day rather than a full day at half the cost
- Have stalls on as many garden fetes and low cost events to spread the word about felt making
Website Update
Stuart, our web designer has been busy putting our website together - he has now produced the first draft. We still have a few more changes to make - but here is your first preview:
Sad News
Wendy had some sad news this week, her father-in-law Arthur died on Monday after a lengthy illness. Arthur was a veteran of the wartime Russian conveys and the liberation of Jersey, he was a quartermaster on HMS Beagle and after the war worked for the water authority . Wendy's husband Mick was very close to his dad - so our thoughts are with him and the rest of the family.
Next Craft Shows
We have two shows coming up, firstly http://www.dunstercountryfair.co.uk/wordpress/ on the 27th July and also don't forget the Coldharbour Mill Wool & Craft Fair on July 30th
