Two more exhibitions in Suffolk

Some of Suffolk group also went to the "Make and Mending"

exhibition in Bury St Edmund's and then the "Out of the Fold" textile exhibition just round the corner and over the road at Cavern 4 in Whiting St.
Both exhibitions end on 31st October.[I asked permission to share pics with other artists in this way, some of the Fold ones are copyrighted - so I was just able to take a general shot, so please don't pass it on, ].
The exhibitions were so different and stimulating I hope to explore reactions in an article in the December issue of the ERTF newsletter, so if you saw the shows and have thoughts to add please do send them to me by the end of November. [preferably sooner or you might forget].

peninsula crafts exhibition in Suffolk





Thanks to the Suffolk members that exhibited, attended, sold and bartered their work. I would include photos of the variety and quality of said work but - I knocked the focus button out of focus.

You will just have to believe me that the empty rooms soon filled with work and people
and bizarre bird tables - which certainly stimulate one to think outside the box.

A Grand Day Out

Today ten ERTF members met at the Bury St Edmunds Art Gallery for the Cambs region outing to visit the Making and Mending exhibition. Although only a small exhibition there were several interesting pieces on display


Armchair Politico by Stephen Dixon and Alison Welsh

After browsing the exhibition we felt in need of some light refreshment...


and then feeling fortified, we then went in search of Wibbling Wools (at the request of our chairperson!) and several purchases were made.

This was then followed by an excellent lunch at the Scandanavia Coffee House.


We all agreed that the best part of the day was just getting together to chat and exchange views with like minded people. All in all a Grand Day Out!
