June Meeting

Not an awful lot to report this month,  We welcomed a new member, Yvonne and set out a plan for the coming year.  We are not starting on our new topic until about September and in the intervening months we are going back to the start of the group and looking at some of the new techniques, fabrics and equipment you can now use in textile work.  We had a quick look at making printed papers as a start for ideas for printing fabric or making an embroidery of your own design.  We also looked at how to isolate a small area in a photograph or picture to inspire a piece of work.  I think work will start next month with Kunin felt and how to use it.

Exhibition at Picturesque Gallery

Our three week run at Picturesque Gallery comes to an end tomorrow and it has been quite a success.  We displayed most of the 'Under the Canopy' work and all the postcards and it filled the available space.  It looked very different to the exhibition at Ayton as the background wall was white and it is a 'gallery' space rather than the boards that we have and that give a more individual display.  See what you think:
