Some items made by members of the group in 2012
A good turn out with 10 felters: Sue H, Melanie, Lin, Lisa who brought along Lynn from London, Hazel a complete newcomer to the group, Jacqui, Gay, Wendy and me, Alison, NP for the day.
Everybody bought contributions for the display of work - even our visitor and newcomer. There was so much to look at, so many questions to ask and suggestions to make, that we made quite a late start at actually doing some work.

Once we got going, most people seemed to be trying out new things or different slants on techniques used before so quite an experimental day. I don’t know what the general consensus would be but I found it all a great learning experience and absolutely loved seeing and talking about the things on display.
We didn’t manage to label each exhibitor’s work, although Gay had thoughtfully brought some with her, but we assembled table after table full of finished articles and sample pieces making a sea of colourful felting including other crafted items like ceramics, stained glass, knitting etc and even some handmade soap! It was all most exciting.
More work made by Never Ever Felt Better members
As usual we surpassed ourselves with the quality and quantity of our food which took us right through to tea-time and the arrival of the invited guests. Altogether it was a most successful and enjoyable day and something to develop in the future maybe mounting a more organized exhibition and perhaps even attaching some price tags with the labels?
