June meeting

At our meeting this month we continued to work on pieces for the Milton Keynes Literary Festival exhibition to be held in September.
We also shared some of the work produced while the group was in France recently and discussed future events and activities.
Most importantly the meeting took the decision, in discussion for a while, to change its name. The group is now called "Art to Stitch".
For the time being you will continue to access the blog at wbctgroup.blogspot

Here are some images of the work in construction for the Festival Exhibition.

Textile Retreat in France

A group of members have just returned from a week in the French countryside. A chance to bond, explore french local towns, enjoy the local food and wine and work on mini artist's concertina books and challenge ourselves to really look at our environment.

Visiting local towns and enjoying the local food.

Working on concertina books guided by Sally.

First attempts.

Sally set us a photographic challenge each day on a theme. The  themes were:
Close up
Gates
Circles
Squares
Looking Through
Here are a few of the close up images
