Courses in Felting and Natural Dyeing, Hong Kong

During November Nikki has invited fibre artist, Debbie Leung, to give a fantastic selection of felting and dyeing classes at her studies.

Her fibre journey:

Fibre is an exquisite medium for self expression. Regardless its origin, whether from nature or from high tech innovation, it is there for us to improve our lives both functionally and aesthetically. It is the application aspect of this medium that appeals to me enormously. On the one hand, I admire tradition and culture, which is the accumulation of human civilisation. On the other, I feel able to indulge in what the latest technology offers. By incorporating both, creativity is unrestricted. Fibre art allows me to express myself and I hope you enjoy will enjoy it too.

A Successful London Show

Nikki and Les's stand at the Knitting and Stitching Show, Alexandra Palace was a resounding success. A huge number of people came up to them to say how much they loved the work and lots of friends and past pupils popped their heads in to say hello.

Clara Poon, a pupil of Nikki's who is now working in London popped in to say hello.

Here is some of the beautiful work that was on display at their stand, 'A Tribute to Ancient Inspirations: East meets West.
