Our Latest Exhibition at Swindon Museum and Art Gallery

The grand opening of the exhibition took place last Saturday and we were delighted that the deputy mayor Garry Perkins came along with his wife and opened the exhibition. 

Many of the exhibiting members were there and the refreshments had been supplied by the Olive Tree Café.  The cakes were delicious and enjoyed by all. 

I am awaiting the photos of the exhibition.... but will post them on here as soon as I receive them. 

We have many sessions of meet the artist and demonstrations planned over the next few weeks and the first of these will take place shortly. Friday 31st May and Saturday 1st June. So come along and enjoy. 

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
