September meeting - AGM and Rose Bowl

After the formalities of the AGM all members voted for their favourite entry in the Rose Bowl competition.  This year the theme was based on our Rainbow Squares and members were challenged to complete a new work with a neutral colour scheme.  Here are the entries from our talented members:-


 

So many beautiful entries made it difficult to choose a favourite, but Christine Bardsley was voted the winner (her work is the one above the hare) and she was presented with the Rose Bowl which will be hers for the coming year.


Other work was displayed by those members who didn't produce a Rainbow Square.  Here are the 'transformed tins' which show their own story displayed in a tin can:-







- and the tins were accompanied by some beautiful shisha work:-


Finally we had a few words from Hannah Dodd who is running a workshop - 3D needle felting - at her studio in Broadbottom on Wednesday, 17 October from 10am until 3pm.  We are really looking forward to being shown how to produce fantastic needle felted birds and insects.  Here is one of Hannah's birds, and one of her 3D felted landscapes:-


You can now look forward to the next blog post showing the fantastical creatures we have made!
