A NEW Course!

I’m always keen to receive feedback following courses, and at shows, and it’s as a result  of customer feedback that I’m launching a new Needle Felting course in November!

Birds & Blooms is a one day felting course where you will learn how to make beautiful decorative felt flowers or a cute little bird.  Once you’ve mastered the art, your new-found skills can be used to make corsages, brooches and decorative items for the home.

 

The first Birds & Blooms day will be held on 23^rd November at Middleton Hall Wedding Venue Nr Tamworth.  We’ll get going at 10.30 and needle felt our way through the day, ending at around 4.30 pm.  

The day costs £55.00 which includes all your needle felting materials, tea/coffee and cake/biscuits.  All we ask is that you bring a packed lunch, or some money to buy lunch when we have a break.

No experience is necessary as full tuition will be given. Make something truly bespoke and handmade by you whilst you experience the magic that "Tigerlily Makes" to book your place just email info@tigerlilymakes.co.uk

If making them yourself doesn't interest you, but you like the idea of owning one  then simply visit My Etsy shop.

Wow where has the time gone, we our now into the 2nd month of opening our Handmade Boutique

Hello and welcome to all our lovely felters, makers, creators and all round lovely people!

Today is just a quick post really to say that we are now in our second month of trading at the Handmade Boutique! I can't quite believe where its gone to, but I have to say I am absolutely over the moon with the progress so far.

We have had such great feedback over our joint venture and the positive comments about the craftsmanship, the individuality and the standard of workmanship has been so wonderful to receive. I personally have received such brilliant feedback on my product range and kits as well as lots of course bookings.

So if you haven't visited the boutique yet in The Great Western Arcade in Birmingham, you are in for a real treat... stock is changing all the time so you are sure to be met with new inspirations each time you go in.

For now I will leave you with a few pics.

Hydsville Tower School Workshop cont...

Goood morning lovely makers creators and all round lovely people, today I thought I would share some more of the amazing works by year 8 pupils at Hydsville Tower School, Hydsville is based in Walsall and is a privately run school which means that this particular school invest heavily in each pupils growth and development.

Their committment to their pupils means that that often use outside resources like mine to give their pupils a varied and enriching programme.

This is the 3rd felt making day I have been asked to run here and there are more scheduled for later in the year.

The pupils are a delight to teach and what I love about teaching any child is the fact that they don't overthink the process they just go with it and produce the most amazing results, but don't take my word for it, see from the examples below.

But for now keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!
