We hope that you will come along and bring your lunch, as the AGM and October meeting will follow at 2.00pm.Let's Print! For our first session we will be looking at the many ways of printing onto fabric using a variety of different print blocks. There will be an opportunity to have a go at some of the ways to create a block. This is all about sharing our knowledge and inspiring people new to these techniques, so if you use these methods already, please bring along any of your favourites and samples of how you have used them in your work (this includes both commercial and handmade stamps/blocks). Everyone is welcome, and if you are a newer member this is an opportunity to meet others in the branch in an informal atmosphere. You may like to bring a packed lunch if you are staying on for the afternoon meeting. Hope to see you there. Judith Burnett September Sales Table: Erica Thomson and Judith Burnett for Liz Welch Everyone managed to find something of interest to buy when we last brought some of Liz Welch's stash in April and books in May.
