Our Annual Christmas card exchange 2018

 
Every  Christmas we design & make one Christmas card which is put in a special Christmas bag, we then take out one card each. This way we each have a beautiful hand made Christmas card from the group!
 













On November 1st 2018 we had Anne Hellyer as our tutor.

She introduced us to free standing town and city scapes made from painted fabric. She was wonderfully organised and had all the painted fabrics for us to work with. She was a patient, helpful teacher and we all had a great time creating little streets. Anne allowed us to take photos of her beautiful creations including the London skyline.

We brought our completed streets to the December meeting.  Here are a few photos from the day and the finished pieces from the following meeting as well as some of Anne's pieces.

pojagi workshop with Liz Smithbone

We had a great workshop on Thursday, led by Liz Smithbone,
one of our members.
Pojagi is an ancient Korean Art Form. A pojagi is a cloth that is used to wrap, carry & store things. Liz taught us the basic technique using paper and then we made the following samples using cotton organdie that Liz had dyed for us. A great day was had by all.
