Ria will be at the Oxford Real Farming Conference again in January, and co-facilitating the ‘Working With Wool’ workshop on Thursday. Ria will be bringing a knitting machine to demonstrate and for you to try, along with lots of natural dye samples and resources to share and discuss.

We will be in the main hall Oxford Town Hall from 2pm-3:30pm.

WORKSHOP: WORKING WITH WOOL: DEMONSTRATION AND SKILL SHARING

Facilitators: Megan Perry, Ria Burns, Jen Hunter, Julie Baber, Rebecca Hazell, Vera Hoenen

Following popular and successful workshops the last two years we are back again to showcase the beauty and versatility of wool — introducing you to new skills and highlighting the role of sheep and wool in sustainable farming systems. This is an informal drop-in space where you can hear about different ways to process and use wool and try your hand at a range of crafts such as carding, spinning, weaving, knitting, felting and more. Or if you have a skill to demo then bring your craft along! All abilities welcome!
