March Meeting

A quiet day today, everyone getting on with work.  Ann very kindly showed me how she uses Markel sticks to make the most beautiful patterns on fabric and then Liz spotted what she was doing and had a go too.  Several people are working on their 'blue' project and I managed to photograph a few before they got packed away.

This is Barbara's weaving.  It doesn't show in the photo but the sails of the boats have a lovely sparkle thread worked in them.

These pieces are from the Ruth Brown workshop two weeks ago.  Lovely shades of blue.

In this photo we have some of the Ruth Brown pieces but also some of the paper we made with Jackie last month.  Some people did coloured printing instead of black and white and this had made these lovely books.

Don't forget to tell your friends about the repeat of our 'Warriors' exhibition at St. James Church Community Arts Centre, Seamer Road, Scarborough.  From the 8th to the 13th June 10am to 4pm except Sunday which is 12 noon to 4pm.  Entrance is free and the Cockleshell Cafe next door has refreshments.

Ruth Brown Workshop

Twelve members joined Ruth Brown for a workshop in cyanotype printing.  We had a great day, the weather was fine and sunny so although we still used the sunbeds to cure our work, we were able to dry the prints outside.  Everyone enjoyed this workshop.  It wasn't too hectic nor too messy and we all came away with some lovely pieces to work on at home.

Here is the washing drying outside

Some of the pieces under the sunbed

Here we all are, busy working away.

This is some of the work we did.  This is a glorious shade of blue.
