Transfer Paints

This week Alison Moger brought her transfer paints for us to play with. She showed us first how to do a basic print, then how to use masks to stop the paint transferring and then we could experiment.

Sketch Books and Olympic Postcards

I did not get around to updating the blog, sorry about that!

On the 3rd February we looked at Bronwen's sketch books from a course she is doing. They were very inspiring and there was so much to look at that she will be bringing them again.

Last week we were due to sew together our Olympic postcards, a challenge set by the Embroiderers' Guild where each branch gets a country and we make postcards to represent the location. Our theme was Thailand. Margaret had kindly sewn some together and although we were not short of volunteers, Liz sewed all the rest together. Thank you to both of them for doing that for us!

Alison Moger has been coming on Friday afternoons to help us with the embroideries for Cefn Coed and she will be here for a few more sessions, so our own workshops have been postponed (but not forgotten).
