Creative Arts at Barb's.

Click this photo to see close ups of work done.

On Friday 10th July more than 20 enthusiastic textile artists met in Barb's great work area: L to R are Christine, Sue D, Carol McG, Karen, Beryl, Val M, Janet B, Pam, Lyn H, Anne P, Joan B, Deb, Annette, Sharyn, Barb, Margaret, Andy, Susie M and Birte. Vanessa and Natalie took the photo and Marlene K, Judy S and her grand-daughter Natasha, Diane C and Gai had already left.

We had the time of our lives learning to make a multi-layered whole cloth, incorporating wool roving, water soluble fabric, muslin, assorted fabrics, braids, cords, zips, yarns etc free motion or otherwise stitched, then felted. Barb introduced us to the concept and Annette demonstrated how she'd done her trial piece. Once we all started there was no holding us back and the creativity absolutely pulsed through the group and the achievements were fantastic! Thanks Barb for a very rewarding and enjoyable day.
