Needle felting at Newcastle City Library as part of Newcastle Fashion week

Well to kick off our links with Newcastle Fashion week workshop ventures, Made in Newcastle provided a array of felting fun at Newcastle City Library.

We had an array of visitors to our workshop, young and old and old and fun was had by all. We made felted necklaces, rings, as seen by one of our wonderful Newcastle Fashion week team, brooches using the wonderful medium of felt.

To learn more about the art of felt, I would thoroughly recommend one of my favourite informative sites - Sara's Texture Crafts.

Made in Newcastle would like to thank Sitting on the wall and Threadspider Textiles for delivering this workshop.

Made in Newcastle and Newcastle Fashion week

Made In Newcastle is delighted to be supporting the first Newcastle Fashion week. As a hub for all things handmade, MiN will be showcasing the work of local fashion designers and fashion students with a specially themed fashion week shop.

As well as all the usual creative offerings the shop will be transforming their gallery space into an indy fashion boutique, where you will be able to purchase the work of some of the region's hottest emerging talent. The shop will also be hosting a number of events and workshops as well as free talks from the city Library.

As well as all this during the week there will be limited edition goody bags to get your hands on (as part of indy shop crawl), special offers and discounts.
