Craft activities

While you are staying in Dove Cottage why not try your hand at learning to spin, felt or weave. I offer the following craft activities by arrangement:

• Beginners spinning (both on drop spindle and spinning wheel)
• Crazy carding and spinning art yarns Spinning not just wool: silk, cotton, alpaca...
• Felting pictures, flowers, or balls - this is also suitable for children
• Weaving narrow bands on an inkle loom (for beginners)

The sessions are held in my wool workshop, a converted mill. Equipment is available for hire during your stay. The activities are suitable for older children under supervision. Sessions will take one or two hours and cost £5 per hour plus materials.
