Attendance.....12 members came along to our meeting on 17 October.

Apologies.......Margaret Price 

In spite of a chilly spring day outside, we were warm and cosy in our hall, doing our own thing art wise.
Welcome back to Glynis, Diane and Ian. It was good to see you all looking so well. Thank you to Ian for your helpful advice about my pastel painting, too

Thank you to Francis for organising the table to sell the donated art supplies. The supplies are gradually being sold, as there is always something tempting to buy, at a very reasonable price/donation. 

We had two completed paintings on show. One being Belle, a cute looking dog with her head looking through the cat door. The look in her eyes was so sad. A lovely painting.
The second was my pastel painting of an iris.

In all it was a very sociable and enjoyable day. 

Next month, it will be the final meeting for the year. To celebrate we will have a pot-luck lunch, so bring along some food and drink to share.
 The theme will be Preparing for Christmas and we will make some Christmas decorations, using moulds provided by Lynda. Another option is to make your own Christmas cards. If anyone has some more ideas, with a festive theme do bring them along, to share with us all.
See photos of the day's 'works in progress' on your right...!
Until next month.

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!
