From Bridget

13th July

Another nice afternoon warm and sunny when we arrived at the hall. Quite a few of us attending for both art and craft with at least two new members. Pictured is the necklaces and earrings made by the craft group one necklace worn and the cartoon faces are my contribution to the art world

June meeting

Twenty of us attended todays art & craft on a nice June day, nine for art and eleven who busied themselves with stringing beads into necklaces. Pictured below. Dave once again painted a beautiful picture this time a small minature of a butterfy that looked as bright as the real thing

.

May meeting

Eighteen turned up for the combined art and craft group meeting. The photos show in the first picture my drawing copied of course from a drawing of a garden glove. The next is Dave's terrific painting of a flower and not least the ornate cards made by the craft group.

April Meeting

Sixteen turned up for the combined art and craft meeting including one surprised visitor who mistakenly thought we were another organization. We welcomed her to take part and she seemingly enjoyed the craft group - another new member?

March meeting

Six dabbled artistically while nine toiled over their crochet to produce a fine selection of knitted work and Pat's unfinished water colour picture of succulent strawberries.

February meeting

Twenty members of the combined group attended on a wet and dark day but within the light and warm church hall we all enjoyed the company. The craft group concentrated on the making of a teabag decoration while we "artistes" worked on our own projects.
The framed picture below is Ann's

January Art & Craft

Dave came to the craft table to demonstrate how to use rope in a decorative way. The result was an attempt to weave a "Turks Head" All of the 10 members seemed to enjoy the challenge. Click here to see how to do a Turks Head

Seven of us strove to produce a work of art with various techniques including using salt and detergent to give various patterns in paint.

The next meeting is at 1.30 pm on 12 January at the Catholic Church Hall in Beaumont Road.
