Workshops with Bee!

Beryl Weir has been working with wool for many years including dyeing, spinning, weaving, knitting and felting. When she was a junior school teacher, Beryl introduced many young children to the joys of knitting and crochet. More recently she has taught many new and inexperienced adult knitters the basic techniques and helped more advanced knitter master more complicated techniques. Since leaving full-time teaching to have children she has slowly built up a thriving business, tackling as many varied crafts as she could find, including hot and cold glass work. She loves to find new ways to combine these crafts, for example creating one-off glass buttons to highlight the colour of particular yarn or flame working glass beads to use as stitch markers on special projects.

Bee's handiwork can be viewed on her Ravelry page:- http://www.ravelry.com/people/gu53bee
