SUMMARY:'Paper Magic' Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together various artists who are exploring the hidden potential of paper transformation. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nThrough cutting\, pulping\, folding\, oiling and collaging\, the magical properties of paper will be revealed… \nPaper is one of our oldest and most familiar materials. It has been with us from ancient times to the present\, a constant companion recording our art\, our ideas\, our transactions and\, sometimes\, quietly changing the course of history itself. We take this flat\, flimsy and ephemeral material for granted\, yet it also has the power to be transformed. \nAs the trials of the past two pandemic years continue to\, hopefully\, recede\, these artists plan to celebrate by bringing colour\, tall tales and a little enchantment. \nExhibiting Artists include: \nSue Cathcart\, Adele Pound\, Emma Whitehead\, Jayne Cherry\, Susan McKeever\, Aimee Magee and Simon Hall.

SUMMARY:Garden of stitches embroidery
DESCRIPTION:This 5 week workshop is ideal for those who would like to learn embroidery or maybe just brush up on long forgotten embroidery stitches. Embroidery has been used for hundreds of years to embellish clothing or household linens\, or to create decorative pieces: it is a way to create ‘pictures’ with a needle and thread. It is also  a great way to relax and de-stress! \nThis 5 week ‘Learn to Embroider’ course is ideal for learning 16 simple embroidery stitches. Each week you will be shown different embroidery stitches that you will use onto your two garden themed designs; these will come together at the end of the course as an embroidered garden scene which is framed in a freestanding duo frame.
