My Old China - Up-cycling in Litchborough

We spent a lovely morning 

in Litchborough Village Hall 

giving some unloved old china a new lease of life.

You can see more of our remaking and remodelling here

Litchborough Panel Continued in the Studio

Here is an update on the Litchborough group's panel which is now back in carole's studio and almost complete.

Litchborough Back To Books Group Panel

We made a welcome return to Litchborough Village hall to meet with some of our members at the other end of the county who wanted to take part in our Brampton Valley Way mosaic project Marking A Fine Line.

It was fantastic to meet up with members who had taken part in Invisible Threads, Felting the Landscape or who  

had come on some of the photography walks of 2012.

Mosaic making was a new art form to most of the group

but they were soon nippering tiles and applying them to their section with gusto!

A brief lunch break

It was another enjoyable day in a beautiful part of the county with a fantastic group of people. Many thanks to artist and member Sonia Hawes who contacted the participants and booked the hall on our behalf. Sonia always makes sure that people in her area know about our events, is a keen walker, social historian, gardener, writer, reader, workshop leader who has a huge passion and commitment to the countryside and the arts! You can find out more about her activities, workshops and adventures here

The panel is off to a flying start!
