My local village craft group organised a trip
to the tiny village of Hardraw, near Hawes,
to visit Andrea Hunter at her studio:
we could not have picked a better day for it.
Not only is the countryside beautiful,
but Andrea's original felt artworks
are awe-inspiring...
Shelves packed with beautifully dyed
Merino wool, just waiting to become artworks...
Small artworks for sale...
And Andrea!
A very generous artistic spirit,
who kindly demonstrated her technique
and had us all in amazement!
She (and my fellow crafters)
kindly allowed a little Kalico to see what was going on...
(until luckily she fell asleep in her buggy!!!)
Andrea's demonstration piece...
The technique...
The rolling...
The rapture :) ...
Ah! So that's how she does it....
A splendid day out...
... in a beautiful studio...
Thanks Andrea.
We hope to see you again sometime soon...
