October Meeting - Christmas Stars

 For our October meeting Jane showed us how to make Christmas Stars with felt.  We embroidered details and used buttons and beads for the centres.  It was the perfect project for the meeting as we all managed to finish our stars.

We will be bringing them back to our December meeting to hang on the Christmas tree.

The challenge for next year's open studios was also unveiled - our imagination is now working overtime  looking for inspiration for our A4 pieces that will fit the theme.  It's good to have a challenge!

Swindon Open Studios - September 2026

 What a lovely weekend we had for Swindon Open Studios at the Jenner Hall.

We had over 140 people attending and we hope that the visitors enjoyed the tea, cake and chats as much as we did.

We had 6 members who had tables at the event to show their items and talk to visitors about their making process and inspiration.

We also had an exhibition room where we showed what had so far been produced for our 2026/2027 theme of 'Scapes'.

In this room were also our White Challenge pieces.

Along with some other work produced at workshops throughout the year.

We are looking forward to doing it all again next year, with more 'Scapes' to show, along with our 2027 challenge - that we will be revealed at our October meeting.
