June Update.

As we approach the middle of June , and the outside temperature feels more like October We've had a busy time felting . As well as a couple of outstanding commission orders I've had to complete , we've  had the "Bunny" workshop at Fobbles  hosted by Beverly . There were some splendid specimens turned out by the class , which was fantastic , as the rabbits were a new workshop introduced for this year, which I'd spent some time preparing the best methods to use to construct them on the day .
Next we were off to Annie's Quirky Workshops for another hare class , and we ended the month of May with Sue & Gaynor at Artison on 31st . We also started the June campaign there too  on the following day June 1st , when we made some more hares. Thank you very much to everyone who attended all the classes  , and to our hosts at their respective venues  for making it all such an enjoyable few days. Have a look at the Workshop photos from the above classes .
We took the opportunity to make the most of our trip to Artison and stayed on a couple of nights  self catering at a fine old building in Masham which has been divided into apartments  . We enjoyed fine weather & some lovely walks round the picturesque town  , with the obligatory visit to the Theakston and Black Sheep brewery tap houses for a quick half  pint .
We also had a walk round the beautiful  Hackfall woodland which Richard had discovered while I was at the hare workshop . This is a splendid woodland full of  native deciduous trees such as beech & oak . Part of an estate dating back to the 1700s there are some fascinating water features and interesting buildings  round every turn it seems . and full of wild woodland birds . We never managed to spot any Wuzels though !
