So today saw me arriving at this village hall for the start of a three day workshop hosted by Alysn Midgelow-Marsden, formerly of The Beetroot Tree.
Just arrived and Judith kindly invited me to join her on her table.
Everyone unpacking their requirements list.
And finding a place for everything.
There was even a picnic area where a few of us sat outside to have our lunch.
The Best Western hotel I'd booking into for a couple of nights was literally just across the road.
This is the main building where I was staying. This is the backdoor to the reception.
The hotel room was fabulous, so big.
With a walk in wardrobe.
And a huge, huge bathroom.
Day 2 and back at the hall ready to unwrap and reveal all our rust.
These are mine. Still to unveil the three tied up bundles, ooh exciting.
Cath in pink, Janet and Judith opening their surprises.
Maureen and Lisa opening theres.
Margaret and Jeni, Jeni just being Jeni!!
Kay and Cheryl opening theres.
Cheryl excited about the unveil and liking this one.
And here are some more of mine laid out to dry.
The four ladies on the table behind me from Wolverhampton. Karina and Roberta and Elise just walking away in the grey hoodie.
And Shay, June, Janet and Cath.
Cheryl admiring Maureens fabulous creations.
Me, June and Shay. I was talking to these guys on FB the day before but had no idea I'd be meeting them the following day - we had a blast.
More of my pieces drying after more colours had been added after the rust was revealed.
As you can see, some people had made loads and loads, the big problem was getting everything dry. Elise and Maggie checking how their pieces were doing.
Jeni's fabric rust makes drying off.
Judith rummaging through her mega stash of cotton fabrics.
Everyone busy working away on their backgrounds.
Alysn gathering the group together and explaining some steps.
Demonstrating playing with pieces of metal including copper and brass and stainless steel fabrics. Holding them in plyers and putting them in the gas flame to see how they reacted. We all had a go.
As this post is getting rather long, I'll do day 3 on another.
