Lightweight Vilene or similar to act as a stabiliser (Ruth will bring some with her)

 Please have a look at the tea rota and let Sally know if you can fill any of the gaps.( 27th April workshop, 7th May, 4th June, 8th June workshop, 2nd July )

Christine Stanford workshop Saturday 27th April

 Details of the workshop. There are still spaces if you would like to join. If you don’t have everything on the materials list don’t worry as Christine will have everything. You can also use her sewing machine if you don’t have one.  There will be options for hand sewing too.

Christine Stanford

 Lovely meeting today with Christine Stanford giving a talk all about her work and how it developed. She also gave a demonstration of using a wax pot to create a surface on tea-bag paper that she could then work into. This is a technique she will be explaining more fully at her workshop on Saturday 27th April.
