Making lizards with Judit Pocs

This week I had the great pleasure of attending a 2 day workshop with the lovely Judit Pocs :)  Not only is Judit amazingly talented, but she is a very good tutor!  My advice - if you get a chance to take a workshop with Judit, don't think about it just sign up and do it!

A slightly smaller version of the ones we were to make :)

I didn't take many photos while I was there.. I was too busy taking it all in, making notes and getting on with things.  I did manage to snap a few though :)

It took a long time to build our lizards.. we were all felting like fiends through day 2 to try and finish.. I'm not sure how many were completely finished, but I do know that mine wasn't quite. Here are a few pics showing some of the lovely lizards produced by the end of day 2

I hope nobody minds me picturing their lizards here..
 if you do please shout out and I'll take 'em off

It was a really good couple of days!  Spent in the company of a group of lovely and very talented felters.. it was so nice to just spend time with people who love felting as much as I do.  The course was at Felt in the Factory which is just over an hours drive away from me.. I stayed overnight at the Factory and it was very nice.  Judit and Angela (hello Angela :) were also staying there so we got more chances to chat :).  I was really glad to be staying there 'cos I got to spend extra time in the studio working on my lizard.. I did an extra 2 hours in the evening to try and catch up - I was the slow kid in the group I think.  But I was back on track for the next day so everything was ok :)  

Next time.. a finished lizard
