HOME: the Guild Member Project for 2019
ANNOUNCING the Guild Member Project for 2019 HOME
Following the inspiring Capability Brown exhibitions in 2016, the hugely
successful Page 17 in 2017 and, more recently, the poignant 100 Hearts
in 2018, we now announce the Guild's project for 2019 – it is entitled
“HOME”. Is HOME the place you return to at the end of each day? Do you have fond memories of a childhood home, long since left behind? Invite us in and show us, in stitch, the special memories you have of your home. Have you lived on a brightly coloured canal boat; in a high rise flat or a converted barn? Have you travelled widely - perhaps seen the favelas in Rio or the slums in Mumbai; a tree house on the beach in the Phillipines? Home should mean shelter and safety but for some it is not. And what of the natural world - a bird's nest, the river of a spawning salmon, the arctic home of the polar bear or the woodland burrow of a fox? Invite us in and tell us, in stitch, what the word HOME means to you. Find more inspiration on our webpage HOME Project 2019 |
Geological specimens to study and photograph at Kickstart
Sew and So with Kickstart at 11a.m on Saturday December 8th, 2018 Our regular informal stitching meeting, Sew and So, is open to all members. Lorraine Ellison will be bringing many lovely examples of fossils, rocks and minerals for us ti draw and photograph.. This may help Kickstart participants to be inspired, and Lorraine will give information about them all. The fossils range from about 1000 years old to an amazing 450 million years old, and they include a mammoth's tooth from Norfolk during the Ice age, shark's teeth from London, ammonites from the south of England, corals from the Peak District, fossil ferns from a Somerset coal tip, various marine animal shells, including some from Wymeswold, and much more. Among the rocks are an amazing, crystalline slice of a meteorite from outer space, and a royal blue rock from Afghanistan. She also has beautiful mineral crystals too. Lorraine collected many for her Geology degree, spending much time, eyes down to the ground, wandering across fields, along sea shores and into quarries. Of course you are welcome to bring your own work, if you are not doing Kickstart this year. Do come, bring your lunch and stay for the afternoon meeting where we will be doing some Christmas stitching and crafts. |

Help needed for Regional Day 2019
The Regional Committee are starting to put together the team for Region Day 2019, and there are still some slots for us to fill. Maybe you can take on a role as an individual, or with a group of fellow members, or perhaps a branch could assume responsibility for part of the day and split the work between some of its members. Attached is a brief outline of what we need. |
