We have now sorted out our topic for the next exhibition in 2021. It will be AFRICA. Lots of ideas there and not forgetting that Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt are all in Africa. We tend to only think of the southern countries that have the national parks with all the wild life and the flowers of the far south. I can see lots of printing of patterns and beadwork designs coming on.
This month Christina gave us a demonstration of marbling using shaving foam. She had learnt this on a workshop this summer and while quite messy it is quicker than the normal way of doing it and is quite effective. We printed a couple of pieces of cotton fabric and then did a piece of white felt which we made into small baskets when they had dried. They still smell of men's shaving foam even though it was supposed to be perfume free but it should fade with time. Think I'll put mine out in the garden while the weather is fine.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone has done with their pieces next month.
