Creating Community

 

It's been a busy few months at the Yarn Spinners Studio with some wonderful results! There have been felted slippers to keep the winter chill off, Junko and Enri have been spinning some wonderful yarn and knitting some beautiful creations. Plently of knitting, spinning and felting to keep us busy.


There were some beautiful seasonal creations with Aideen and her sisters making beautiful bunting with felt and some fun drop in sessions where we made impromtu felt birds and winter angels. Here's Christina making her creation fly :)

Christina had a wonderful day documenting the studios progress with local film maker, Maria Mulhall.
 ''Lovely morning chatting with Bernie Crampsey (Crafts), Claire Claire Thompson Gilmour and Maria Mulhall learning about Aran knits, and sharing stories about age-old skills taught from generation to generation...a wonderful insight into the enduring sense of warmth and contentment felt at working with mothers and grandmothers in community, to make something, to learn from watching them DO. Beautiful words and inspiring thoughts..Thank you for sharing your time and spirit with us.''

 There's plenty more to come so drop into the studio on Wednesdays to get to grips with some fibre fun and meet some wonderful people.
