1st February 2009
Sunday 11am to 5pm

One day workshop with a break for lunch (total of 6 hours: £110*)

Upon arrival at loop you will meet your unclothed creature. They have been made by me, Julie Arkell, in papier mâché, with wool embroidered eyes and mouth.

There will be a variety of wool and fabric in the workshop to inspire your outfits, but please bring any treasured pieces of material, adornments, brooches, buttons etc with you too.

Over the years of dressing my rabbits I have many knitting and crochet patterns for ears, hats, pinnys, skirts, trousers, scarves and flowers. These will all be available for you to choose from, with photographs of creatures wearing them in their every day lives.

By the end of the day you will have your creature well dressed, and a great companion forever!
