Convergence is a gathering of felt makers and sharing knowledge is the underlying theme. It is four full days of immersion and indulgence in every aspect of felt making suitable for all levels of experience. Anyone interested in felt making and textiles should attend. There is no need to belong to a formal textile organisation or felting group. Just come along, learn, share, felt and have fun.

Bunbury Felting Group - 11th Southern Hemisphere Felting Convergence ABN 62663714697

The 11th Southern Hemisphere Felting Convergence was a fabulous five days in October 2011 at Bunbury Western Australia.

The Convergence may be over but we are still felting so please join us at the Bunbury Felting Group blog.

South West Fashion - Art to Wear Organic Fashion

There's just one photo of this wonderful coat so we've enlarged it as much as possible so that you can enjoy.

Photo Lyn Pix
The designer is Darriel Palfrey-Jones and she tells us it is made from a combination of merino wool from Sals Wool Den, throwsters silk and silk worm pods and Nancy Ballesteros' merino wool. (You'll be pleased to know that both these suppliers are in our Traders Hall so you'll be able to make a coat like this yourself!)

It has a luminous quality doesn't it?
