Something New

On Saturday I went to our printmaking group for some reason not many people turned up for it. I myself was not going to stay long as there weren’t any one to talk to, just when I ready to leave a friend turned up and we started to talk and she demonstrated sola plate to and we play with scape bit of sola plate for a couple of hour. So today I went out to the art supply shop and got myself some sola plates to play with.

In the shadow of the mountain

I’m really looking forward to the first art group of the New Year, to meet up with artist friends at a friend’s studio. Her studio is right under a mountain range and puts on a different mood each day, it’s a great day working, talking, sharing ideas plus we have a marvellous pot luck lunch. The only down side of the day is when we have to pack up and drive home, but we came start to looking forward to the next time haha.

Third Tuesday of the month

Yay it’s the third Tuesday of the month, its art group Tuesday. A group of like minded people travel to one of the group’s studio and talk, work and share ideas have a really great shared lunch and have a good time. To day the owner of the studio Alison gave a demo of felting making lovely bright coloured hats them got us all to have go.

It was so much fun and well worth the two hours travel each way so now I’m counting the Tuesdays till the next art group day
