Mini Workshop 'Celtic Design' with Sue

 Unfortunately Margaret is unable to run this mini workshop due to her operation - which I am pleased to say has gone well.

So you are stuck with me, and Caroline who will assist.

We will be stencilling, stitching and using mixed media eg. Kunin felt, Tyvek and Lutrador, along with distressing agents and paint.

A short list of requirements will be available in the next few days

But members are advised to bring aprons, sewing kits etc.

Sue will provide most of the materials.

Joy gave a presentation of her wide range of art work, which is predominately ceramics, but incorporates stitch on watercolour paper and batik.

  She has agreed to run a workshop 'Watercolour and Mark Making with free machine stitching and Embellishment' on 27th July instead of Batik.
