ERTF Shop at DragonHall

Here are photos from our Shop at the Concepts & Meanings Exhibition, Dragon Hall, Norwich. As you can see lots of wonderful items for sale. It is staffed by ERTF Members, so say hello. Please come for a look around.

Exhibition - on its way!!!

Today was delivery day for the ERTF's Exhibition: Concepts & Meanings to be shown at Dragon Hall, Norwich. By the time I arrived at lunchtime many beautiful things had already been delivered. Here’s a tantalising glimpse of what will be on view – with Doreen checking off the arrivals.
The staff of Dragon Hall were already busy making preparations for the work to be displayed, intriguing… scaffolding was in place!!!
The exhibition opens on Tuesday 27th September and runs until Sunday 9th October. Please see the poster in the side bar, or look at the Dragon Hall website for more information. I do hope you will visit, as we will also have an ERTF shop bursting with wonderful pieces of ERTF Members’ artwork at price points to suit every pocket, alongside supplies to aid your own creativity. ERTF Members will also be stewarding the Exhibition, so come along to say hello.

A Great Evening in Norwich

Good news, Stephanie Potts has agreed to be our rep in Norfolk, she is Manager of Dragons Hall in Norwich and is completing her MA in Textile Culture at Norwich. She will shortly be putting details of the next meeting meeting on the web site and you can contact her via the Committee Members section of the web site. It is Monday 18th January in the evening so put in your diary now.

We had a fantastic networking evening in Norwich at the splendid medieval Dragons Hall, so our venue for November 2010 conference is spectacular and a very apt setting for Concepts and Meanings.

We had a lot of interest in ERTF with representatives from Norwich Cathedral, amazing ecclesiastical textiles of course, and the Costume and Textile Society based at Carrow House. Several students on the MA course at Norwich have joined as members and I feel that Norfolk is going to be a very vibrant and active group. They have already arranged their next meeting, January 18th, to start taking things forward.

I forgot to take my camera, as ever, so no nice pics but I would like to say a big thank you to the Norfolk members that drove long distances on a wet November evening and to Stephanie for volunteering and providing the wonderful setting for the meeting and to Caroline McNarama for organising the evening.

Norwich Networking Event November 25th 6pm to 8pm

We have arranged a free ERTF networking event for Wednesday 25^th November between 6 and 8pm at Dragons Hall, King Street, Norwich. We are very pleased that Dragons Hall is keen to offer its services and facilities to ERTF and to provide us with an Area Rep for Norfolk. This is fantastic news as we can now begin to make ERTF in Norfolk an active and vibrant group.

So please come along and meet members of the ERTF committee, including myself, hear what Dragons Hall can offer us and help plan for the future events that you want. You are we encouraged!, to bring as many friends as possible so that we can being to grow the Norfolk membership.

I appreciate that you are a large county and it might involve a bit of traveling for some of you but can I please encourage you to do your best to attend this event as you will not get activities started in your own areas unless you all meet up and begin talking. We are also bringing the November 2010 conference to Norwich, which is going to be a very special event looking at Concepts and Meanings within various art disciplines and own work and this will be the launching pad for our juried 2011 exhibition.

It would be helpful if you could let us know how many people you will be bringing with you on 25^th.

So come and join us for a glass (or cup) or something and a mince pie and let's see what we can generate in Norfolk...........
