Our workshop was on machine embroidered brooches led by yours truly!
Everyone worked really hard and produced some lovely brooches.

time to embellish
The end result – a successful workshop!!
The try it out session in March was on Tyvek and other heatable plastics. There were quite a examples brought in by members and a lot of interest in ‘having a go’ with a heat gun and using the iron.
It was also our hand-in evening for our 'ring box wraps'. This was the first of our challenges from Wyn Ingham.
It was great to see such a good response. The ring boxes had to be inspired either by Fabergé or Cloisonné.
At our second meeting we were visited by Becky Waite who talked to us about ‘Working in Blackpool and other Things’ She works in recycled plastic and brought some interesting pieces for us to handle and inspect closely and a PowerPoint presentation of her work. Sadly she had to leave early to catch a train back home so we didn’t really get chance to ask her too much about her work.
