Beginning the year 2016-2017
After a long break due to my travels and, more recently, injury, I am now able to restart the blog.
It has been an interesting and busy year with a great mixture of visitors for talks and workshops and the use of our own members to guide and inspire.
The AGM was accompanied by a talk by the ever popular Kathryn Thompson who showed her knowledge of the latest products available for the production of bags of many kinds.
Our own Bev Elliott showed off some of her mixed media work in October and we all looked at the first round of travelling books.
Nue or wool embroidery were the choices for the November day school.
and in November Bev followed up her October talk by leading a workshop using some materials like Tyvek and Lutrador which were not familiar to some members. Many members made bookmarks inspired by ones Bev had produced using transfer dyes
At the November meeting some members brought along their contributions for the Eternal landscape project run by the NW chair, Val Coleshaw.
We had great fun at the December meeting, led by Daphne Abbott, assisted by Laura Brown
First of all we covered bottles with wool or felt and then decked then with twigs etc, provided
by Daphne.
There were some very interesting results
Barbara Bauckham led a Mixed Cross stitch workshop in January , which featured scarecrow pictures
