Opening of Exhibition









We had a wonderful turn out of members and guests for the official opening of our exhibition at the Swindon Museum and Art gallery.  The Mayor Garry Perkins and his partner performed the official ceremony and the refreshments were provided by Olive Tree Café. The cakes were delicious. The Mayor and his partner were very interested in the exhibits and how we had used the historic photographs as an inspiration. Here is a small selection of the work on show. However  the work is best viewed at the Art gallery to get a real appreciation of size, texture and scale. The exhibition is running until September.

Gold work talk - Cynthia Jackson



We were very lucky to have an inspiring talk given by Cynthia Jackson from Canada on the Broderers Crown at our April meeting. 

We were taken on a fascinating journey of research in the tradition of the Crowns created  for the medieval guilds. The goldwork was breath taking. For more information go the Broderers Guild
