Welcome back to another winter of exciting blogs and feedback from all the lovely people I have met this year! It is official - tuffet festival workshops are popular and fun! It has been a year of excitement and experiment, what works, what doesn't - what can be improved! Space has been an amazing challenge with every festival different - from the wonderful indoor space at the Bristol Folk Festival at
Colston Hall in Bristol where apprentice tuffetees ranged from 6yrs to 60+ all walking proudly away with their own mini tuffet to soothe the buttocks on the less than comfy festival chairs, to the van and gazebo arrangement at the
Wessex Festival in Weymouth. with the harbour as the most beautiful backdrop. 'Brizzle' tuffetees suggested I start a comments book which I put into action and have been astounded by the wonderful comments from everyone - relaxing, time-out, fun, productive, and more comments are to be found on the
Travelling Tuffeteer Facebook page - which if you haven't visited yet then please do and make a comment if you will!!
The biggest challenge of the year so far has to have been Grillstock where the skies emptied and emptied and emptied!! Great music - great rain! Keeping everything dry was very tricky and running festival workshops almost impossible although between the showers action began again! But it did not dampen the spirits of most!
The raffle of the festival tuffet was most successful, bad luck to all those that did not win but thanks for participating. Festival goers are invited to buy a raffle ticket for £2 and spend 10 minutes contributing to the making of this magnificent 5' tuffet!
