Thursday session 2 November / blog

Sally L will be writing the blog from home this week, with Avril taking session photos and sending them to her. Sally asks members to send her (Sally) any comments that they would like to accompany their work. She should then be able to marry them up with the photos from Avril. Such additional comments would be useful.
Many thanks to Avril and Sally for filling in during Hannah's absence on holiday.

SALLY L'S MARK MAKING WORKSHOP 26TH OCTOBER 2023

Unfortunately, Sally will not be able to run the workshop session this Thursday as planned due to the ill health of her husband Geoff. Instead there will be a straightforward model and still life session organised by Harriet.
We wish Sally and her husband all the best.

Chairman's CHRISTMAS project 2023

At the AGM, our Chairman Lesley announced this year's Christmas Chairman's Project, which is "Where on Earth are we Going?". It needs to be completed and shown at the Christmas party on 14th December. With environmental matters in mind, perhaps, get your thinking caps on and see what wonderful ideas you can come up with. As before, it can be in any medium you like, but this year, as the work may be included in an exhibition, it would be better if it could be 2D, and should not be conceptual.

Home page & Gallery

If you would like your picture link on the Home page slideshow changing or updating with something more recent, please advise Hannah by email, specifying the changes you want.
More photos for your gallery pages would be very welcome.
