Some of them may never touch felting again but I'm betting there will be at least a couple that will remember their lesson in future years (maybe not until they're quite a bit older) and will do something with it. At least you got to take home their leftover 'bits' and use them in your own creations.

I think at that age they still have school mentality, the lesson ends and they walk away. Hopefully (and I am sure with a class of artistic students this will happen to some) in their artistic/creative futures they will remember your class and the magic of felting.<br />And I'm glad the prefelts have a good home with you now :)<br />xxFeltersJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144951816128798093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422137424280235275.post-44587718152776283422013-10-16T10:54:16.951+01:002013-10-16T10:54:16.951+01:00I know that going home with a bonus bag of pre-fel...I know that going home with a bonus bag of pre-felts would go a long way to compensate for the disappointment caused by the students' lack of enthusiasm!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422137424280235275.post-36712781185693166552013-10-16T10:30:39.764+01:002013-10-16T10:30:39.764+01:00Ooh I wish we'd done felt making when at schoo...Ooh I wish we'd done felt making when at school or college!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422137424280235275.post-49174159246811733582013-10-16T09:58:48.540+01:002013-10-16T09:58:48.540+01:00Love the gentle colours in your pieces.
