All Age Workshop Nov 11th

It's All Age Workshop time again. We have Christmas decorations and stitched cards on the menu for people to have a go at. Everyone is welcome regardless of age or ability.

Hanny Newton, goldwork and the Scythians!

The British Museum has had an exhibition on the Scythians, warriors of ancient Serbia. You might have spotted a 'like' on our Facebook page regarding Hanny Newton who was leading an interactive public art piece; visitors were invited to adorn a life size horse with gold work creations inspired by the exhibition. 

Hanny is a graduate of the RSN and Falmouth University; she champions hand stitch in contemporary art, making traditional skills like goldwork and whitework fresh and interesting. Check out her website from the link above or her Facebook page. Here's a little taster of her fabulous work.
