So, how good was May’s meeting? It really was a huge success and proved a great social occasion
as well, a great set up for a good chat with edible treats to boot!
Sue Duggan from Teach Me Sugarcraft let us into some of the secrets of
decorating cupcakes and under her skilled tuition, within minutes we were all
turning out artistic creations everyone could be proud of. A big thank you to
Sue and also to our May cake makers.
The relaxed format of the session meant we also had a chance to chat and
meet one another which has resulted in lots of suggestions for our 2014
programme, but do keep the suggestions coming through all the usual channels as this will take some time to finalise.
June’s meeting will be challenging our skills in the art of life drawing.
Deb Pearson has spent her life around art – she is a life drawing model,
passionate collector of art and a regular at the RWA Drawing School.
Deb will lead our session, starting with tips and advice on life drawing
before taking up a series of poses for us. (NB there will be nudity involved!!)
Please can everyone bring a sharpener and rubber and if you have your a
favourite sketch book do bring this along too. But don’t worry if you don’t have
your own as there will be paper, art pencils and charcoal provided – so avoid
pale clothing with all that charcoal and graphite around.
As the summer kicks in just a reminder that July’s meeting will be a hands
on craft session with Liz Ferguson making all sorts of beautiful decorations for
our WI stand at the Bristol International Kite Festival (31 August/1 September).
If you can help with our Kite Festival stand in any way, whether it's baking cakes, loaning props or decorations, your time to (wo)man the stand over the event weekend, advice, previous experience, storage space... anything! Please do let us know, many hands make light work as they say.
See you all next week,
MWI x
