HAT Weekend

Our main event
Have an Adventure with Threads
took place on the first weekend
of September 2007.

On Friday 31st August we were treated to
an inspiring lecture by
Jenny Mackay
who talked about her journey
of discovery in feltmaking.

Over the next two days we had a mix of workshops, drop-in sessions, demonstrations,
exhibtions and the opportunity to buy from several trades who had come with their supplies.

Workshop tutors were Jenny MacKay, Joni Bamford, Jean Mellin, Alicia Merritt,
Sian Martin and Jean Leader and we are grateful to them for taking the trouble
to travel up to the Highlands to share their experience and knowledge.

A good time was had by all!

Many thanks to all those who gave of their time and energy.

You can see some of the activities in our HAT Weekend Photo Album.

Sponsorship has been secured from Highland 2007, Awards for All Lottery Funding and Lifescan.
