Fresh Prints, Fabulous Fruit

We have been inspired by summer's

fruits and flowers

and have been printing our responses 

with artist Carole Miles

These prints will also be on display at 

The Green Patch

During Kettfest

On The Tiles

We have been making clay tiles

with artist Carole Miles

we collected  leaves and grasses

and impressed letter stamps

and buttons into the soft, damp clay.

We also drew and dotted!

We used a clay tile cutter to make the tiles 

and left them in the sun to dry.

Carole took them away to be fired

promising to bring them back for us to glaze.

You can see all of our tiles so far here

The Mollie

Our new project has a new base - a rather lovely survivor from the late 80's, a caravan we are calling The Mollie. Project volunteer and long time Back To Books member Margot Norris was given the task of finding a caravan that might work well as the mosaicing space on The Green Patch and has been named in honour of Margot's intrepid, caravanning mother, the much loved, much missed Mollie Scorgie. The Mollie has ended her roadworthy days and is now nestled in a new home on the Green Patch!

Trying the space out for size

This will be our view, which will change with the seasons

Carole Miles and Phiona Richards

have been let loose with paint and stencils

We have a table and we're poised for a power cable!

What a great space for our new venture!
