If you’ve ever wanted to felt your own mossy pebble, this is your chance! Tuesday 21st April from 6.30 to 9.30 (ish!). You’ll learn how to use a resist to wet felt a pebble form, complete with mossy features of tactile fibres. You can use your pebble as a pod to display an air plant, or turn it into a small, organically inspired, cushion. Your choice! This has been a popular make for lots of people, whether new to felting or looking to expand their skill set. All materials, yummy snacks and drinks provided. There are 2 spaces left for this workshop, please book at https://www.sarahleighartist.com/workshops

If you’ve ever fancied a whole day of felting a sculptural seedpod, this is your chance! You’ll learn how to roll a long cord with integrated features and how to cut a resist and lay fibres to create a 3 dimensional form. I have one space left for the workshop this coming Sunday. Running from 10.30-5, with all materials, snacks and a light lunch included. Book at https://www.sarahleighartist.com or DM me to secure the place. It’ll be a fabulous day!

It’s been quite a ride over these last few weeks! Lots of head scratching, fabric sampling, model making, finger stabbing … and a fair few sleepless nights.

Huge thanks to Caroline for bringing me in on such an exciting project. And to John for coming up with creative responses to the many curveballs that came our way.
And complete awe for the whole OPUS team (Caroline, Bex and Helen), Dave the Rigger (who installed the flat cap like it was water off a bull’s back) and the rest of the crew. It was worth the sleep deprivation.

What an experience! ❤️

What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday! 6 wonderful felters … some of them felting for the first time. We started the day with coffee and pastries (the way all good Sundays should begin) before everyone designed their landscape. Armed with wool, resists, soapy water and a lot of elbow grease the landscapes took shape in time for lunch, and then it was on to needle-felting the little features that give the landscapes a sense of scale (in time for afternoon cake). A perfect day all round! I’ll be running this workshop again later in the year. 💛

So that’s another year done and nearly dusted! Thank you to everyone who’s helped make 2025 such an interesting year … workshop participants, event neighbours, customers, browsers and especially the fabulous network of creative people that I feel lucky enough to know. But now … time for rest, relaxation and reflection. Have a wonderful Christmas all! See you in 2026 ###

Tomorrow will be my last event before Christmas and it’s always a cracker to finish at the Edgbaston Artisan Market! If you’re new to this fabulous market it’s on Greenfield Crescent, from 10-4. The sun is going to shine (no, really!), there’ll be live music and so much creativity packed into one event, with lots of independent cafes and bars to slip into for a cheeky mulled wine to properly embrace the Christmas spirit. It’s going to be a fabulous day! I’ll have the last of my boxed fairy lights, glowing Urchin lights and lots of pods … perfect for gifting. Come and say hi! X

What a fabulous few days! Thanks to everyone who came just to chat or take home new lights, pictures or pods. The events at Compton Verney wouldn’t be half the fun they are without the organisers and gallery assistants pulling out all the stops to make the fairs run smoothly. It’s what makes events at Compton Verney so special 🥰

Thanks all x

Back at Compton Verney for this year’s Gift Fair … all the galleries full of a fabulously diversity of makers and artists. Whatever you want … it’s bound to be here! My new illuminated urchin pods have been finding new homes .., and there’ll be a workshop soon to make your own (if people keep asking, it’s rude to not offer 😄). We’re here from 10-4.30 today through to Sunday. Come and say hello! X
