It was a real success.
The weather was lovely and we had a steady stream of interested people through the doors to admire a room full of beautiful textile art including both people’s own projects…
…and work from the last couple of years, such as the goldwork initials on the left.
Bovver birds. (Wearing bovver boots…)
Outcomes from Mary’s Sea Workshop:
Chris Gray’s amulets:
My Stitch Play:
Competition Pieces:
Sandra’s beautiful heliotrope fan won the Regional Award for the Competition – ‘A flower beginning with…H’.
And I believe this William Morris inspired competition entry on the left is Lynda’s. Each one of those sunflower petals is an individual free standing woven picot. Stunning!
Some of our Alice Fox work:
As well as more projects, new…
…and old.
And in one corner, my jewellery stall (complete with my budding archaeologist on the left). Upcycled jewellery on the left, original jewellery in the middle and beachcombed jewellery on the right among the driftwood.
I half hoped I might sell a couple of bits, but in fact I sold nine items and had so many lovely compliments and conversations that it’s a wonder my head got through the door at the end of the day! I am so grateful to the committee for suggesting I have a stall and I am definitely ready to do something like this again – I just have to find the right type of fair/market.
