And the Winner is......Feltmakers 2012

So the wonderful judges at the Feltmakers Guild met together to peruse this year's selection of felt hats on the 26th April. The winners were announced a few days later. So it is much congratulations to new college on the block Waltham Forest CLASS who with just their short evening class, which only started last September managed to scoop up first and third prize. This is really heartening for the millinery industry considering that our courses are being hit so severely with recent changes to education funding.

At Leeds College of Art Rosie Totiah won the craftsmanship prize which was well deserved. I hope you enjoy perusing the Leeds entries as I am sure you can see it was a tough decision for the judges as there are some really exciting entries and I look forward to seeing the finalists on the Feltmakers web site. Well i have just clicked the link and the winners are there I look forward to your thoughts.
