Join a workshop to help regenerate a damaged hillside

Thursday 11th March 2010

On Saturday March 27th Pip Woolf is planning to lay a line of felted sheep's wool, seeded with heather seeds across an area of damaged peat bog above Pengenfford. The project is an experiment to see if the felt can create a more hospitable environment to encourage  re-growth of vegetation and help stabilise the peat. She is looking for volunteers to make wool into felt and also create simple pegs to secure it and then on 27th March help to get both the felt and pegs up onto the mountain where we will install ‘a woollen line’. Pip will be running half day felt workshops throughout March both at my studio in the Dyffryn Crawnon and at other venues to be arranged, if you are interested in helping with any aspect of this project please get in touch.  ( tel. 01874 730995). Pip will be holding a workshop at the Arts Alive building on Saturday 20th March from 10 am until 12.30 pm. All welcome. Please email Arts Alive if you would like to attend. There is no charge for this workshop.
