Attendance.....13 members came along to our meeting

Apologies.......Joanne Freeman,  Alison Rodgers,  Colleen Simpson.

We had something different to do for the day.  Lynda O"Brian brought along some "Air Dry Clay" and the first thing we made with it was a flower vase holder to hold the flower in place in a vase Next we were shown how to make little faces or shells fish using moulds  and shown how she had glued them onto a frame for a wall hanging. 

  It was certainly something different to do for the day and everyone was busy making whatever fancied them.  As there was a lot of chatter I am sure everyone was enjoying themselves .

  We had eight paintings brought along and put on show.  One being a very angry bull that I am  glad I was not in front of by the  look in his eyes and a beautiful dancing girl, well done. It was good to see everyones finished paintings and the variety

  All in all it was an enjoyable day and very sociable. 

It was good to see the increased number of members coming along too

Does anyone have a request of what they would like to do as we are coming to the end of the year?  Only two more meetings  before Xmas 

Love your suggestions.

Until next month 

Margaret

Photos of yesterday’s “day with a difference”.   Linda and Eileen showed us how to manipulate a variety of clay - and to use moulds to achieve a wonderful variety of shapes.  Others carried on with work on hand, lots of laughter and fun - an awesome day!
