The wintery weather gave us the perfect opportunity to roll out some fleecy, felted scarves with artist Carole Miles. We used hot water, soap, bubble wrap, bamboo mats and plenty of fiction to make light weigh scarves to keep off the winter chill.

After noticing that the scarves were a little fragile we sewed on vintage woollen fabrics to give extra strength and warmth. Scarves modelled by artist Phiona Richards (wearing her own demonstration creation), project volunteer Margot Norris and Green Patch friend Nigel Bennet.
