'Tantalising Textures' workshop at Pendle Branch

Last weekend three members of Glossop Branch travelled to a one-day workshop being held by Pendle branch: 'Tantalising Textures' by Sandra Wallace.  It was an unexpected and happy surprise to find that one of the other attendees was Val Coleshaw, North West Regional Chair who is pictured with her beadwork sample.



We all produced some samples of beading and Tyvek which could be used to add texture to our work.


Sandra Wallace is a very experienced embroiderer and tutor, here is some of her work:

We were made to feel very welcome and all had an enjoyable day, making new friends at Pendle branch.  They have promised to visit us in Glossop next spring.

Pendle branch members have taken part in a Capability Brown exhibition at Gawthorpe Hall, which we visited during the week to admire the beautiful work on display.
