What an end to an odd year!! We only just
managed to get our Xmas Party in before Covid
cases in the village escalated. Kate organised a
"game" with plastercine, asking us to come up
with a Xmas Scene - I think the aliens really
made our scene "unique" and won us the
challenge!! Unfortunately, due to Covid we
decided to cancel the last Workshop of the year
- Decoupage Christmas Box on 17 December - as a
precaution. But rest assured this Workshop idea
will be carried forward to Christmas 2022.
Hooray!
Thanks again to Kate & all the volunteer
Workshop Organisers for all their research &
hard work in organising these workshops.
Here's to a healthier & happier 2022 with lots
of Crafting & Workshops.
Merry Christmas & A Happy Healthy New Year to
all our Crafters.
2021 November - Art & Craft Group - Circular Weaving
Workshop
We were all running "round" in "circles" with this
workshop!! Phew . . .
We went "loopy" threading through the "hoop" for
this weaving technique, but we all had a ball (of
wool!)
Thanks to Margaret for organising this engrossing
craft - it was a "ringing" success.
2021 October - Art & Craft Group - Lino Printing
Workshop
This is a printmaking technique, in which a sheet of
linoleum is used for a relief surface. A design is
cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife,
V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved)
areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the
parts to show printed.
The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller, and then
impressed onto paper or fabric, using a hand held
roller.
As you can see from the photos a myriad of designs
were created - without any injuries!
Another good turnout for this fascinating craft.
Thanks to Chris for organising this fascinating
craft workshop.
2021 September - Art & Craft Group - Painting Watercolour Flowers
We're back in Clifton Campville!! Can't believe it was February 2020 when we last had a workshop at Haunton.
Goodness me though, what a beautiful subject to cover for our first workshop in the new Village Hall.
Thanks to Kate for organising this bouquet of beautiful watercolour flowers to see us through the winter.
Another good turn out for these very popular monthly workshops.
As you can see from the photos - we have the occasional male attendee too!
The Salt & Flour was flying as we attempted to create our
cottages ... Great fun!
