Polish feltmaking group in Istanbul
We had a great 3 day workshop with ouroup from Poland...they were pleased to know we had discovered the word for thankyou in the night...however rigth word...wrong spelling! We fit a lot of work in to 3 days in order to create a small rug, hat and bag. As with all our courses..we had as many wonderful pieces as there were students. We even had some fun by sending them out to kick their rugs in the park across the street with the Aya Sofya in the backdrop. We entertained both the locals and and the tourists alike!
