Felt Folk Puppets

These beautiful puppets were designed and hand made in Ireland by Jean.  Each puppet is made with pure Merino wool and the clothes are made from felt and recycled silk.  The puppets have very fine movements and are all completely individual.  They made their debut at the Wexford Opera Festival 2012!

Tuesday Felt Class – make a teacosy!

Hand Felted Teacosy

Niki will be showing students how to make felted tea cosies next Tuesday (15 January 2013)  morning and evening.  Tea cosies are, in my opinion, so beautiful and practical.  You can bring along any decorations  you’d like to add, for example buttons, beads, ribbon or any little thing that is precious to you.

Another great reason for making tea cosies is to support The Constant Knitter Tea Cosy Competition!  The proceeds of the competition will go St Bridgid’s Primary School in Dublin 8.  (Actually the tea cosies can be made however you like – knit, crochet, felt, sew, quilt – in fact whatever you want to do is ok with us).  And for the coffee drinkers, caffetiere cosies are also welcome.

Details of the competition and entry forms can be downloaded from www.theconstantknitter.ie – just get the cosies to us by 31 January.  They will go on display here in early February and there will be prizes!

Cost for the class, including materials, is E30.  Please bring a big towel and bubble wrap if you have it.

To enrol, please contact Rosemary on 087 996 7197 or info@theconstantknitter.ie
