Event City February 2018

Once again the Branch organised a stall at the Event City Show (The Creative Craft Show) and it proved to be  highly successful and very popular with visitors.  Liz and Sue were key to the success and thanks go to the many members who gave their time to sell inspiration packs, chat to visitors and run mini workshops.

Hilary Kimber led the workshop making Banjara with Bling.  Here is the workshop in progress alongside some of Hilary's excellent pieces. You can see photos taken at the end of the day by looking in the Photo Gallery.

January 2018

An inspiring, all-day, workshop with Lynda Edwards, who talked about how to incorporate Gelli Plate prints into embroidery (see photo below).  Everyone then worked diligently, thoroughly absorbed.  You can see more of Lynda's work in the photo gallery. Members work will appear later.
