August Making and Baking - Entries for The Umbrella Fa

 

Sue had a dream, a dream that all the group would make and bake entries for this year's Umbrella fair in Northampton. Carole was on hand to help with the Animal sculptures made from Green Patch produce and the table gardens. It was a busy, action packed day!

Meeting and Making Part 1

It was a gorgeous sunny afternoon and the Green Patch were having a picnic with a bit of a Halloween theme!

Our artists, Carole Miles and Phiona Richards took the opportunity to do some meeting and making for our View From Here project.

There were paper linch bags and insect stamps

for people to make their own Halloween Goody Bag
