The first of this autumn’s workshops at Made in Greenwich was a great success. I was joined by a wonderful group of people who were new to needle felting, although you could not tell by looking at the results. I think you would agree that the wreaths they made are absolutely gorgeous!
Next workshops will take place at Made in Greenwich on Saturday 26th November. We are needle felting Christmas baubles. Find out more on the workshops section.

Needle Felted Christmas Baubles
Saturday 26th Nov 2022 1-4pm at Made in Greenwich.
A date for your diary! Our fabulous Finnish Art Group is having a joint exhibition to celebrate their 30th anniversary this November in Coningsby Gallery in central London. I am very excited to take part of this exhibition and look forward to see you there.
Join us for a fun and festive Christmas bauble felting workshop. In this workshop we will combine basic needle and wet felting techniques with simple stitching skills to create two beautiful decorations for you to take home.
This 3 hour session will take you from design to creation. I will guide you through the materials and tools needed and show you step by step processes to create unique pieces of decorations.
This workshop is suitable for all levels. You don't need previous experience just some enthusiasm to learn a new skill. All materials and tools are provided. Not suitable for the children as the felting needles are very sharp.
This is a small group session. Maximum of 6 participants in order to allow plenty of time for one to one attention and being flexible to the participants needs.
This workshop will take place in Made in Greenwich. It is a gift shop and a local artist co-operative run by a non-profit organisation GCDA . The shop is open during the workshop so there is a great chance for some early Christmas shopping.

Festive season is once again upon us. This is a busy time for the craft lovers as various festivities from Halloween to Diwali and most of all Christmas, will get our creativity going. The shortening days invite us to curl up on a sofa with a craft project and hot drink. Sounds like heaven to me and I reckon that there are many likeminded craft enthusiasts around who feel the same.
For someone who loves both crafts and Christmas, the preparations for the Festive Fairs are the highlight of my working year. The process starts in early spring with registrations and applications for the various events. I start making my products in early summer and keep going until the events are upon us. The actual fairs are just a pinnacle of long hours of crafting and other preparations, but they start the festivities and put me in the Christmas spirit. For this Autumn’s events I have made many lovely new products including nursery decorations, felting kits and always popular needle felted animal figurines. Come and have a look and say hello. You will find me in the following events:
The Finnish church organises its annual Christmas fair at the end of November and during the weekend it spreads onto Albion Street and merges with the Scandinavian Christmas market. I will have my table inside the Finnish church on Fri-Sun (22nd - 24th November). This is a very busy event so reserve plenty of time and patience to look around.
