Hi Folks
Do hope you're enjoying the Summer as much as I am, she says, ignoring the weather today. I've been chilling out, sitting in my lovely "new" garden and playing with my little dog. Still, I've not been tardy thinking about the future dates for New Beginnings... For details, please go to the "Teaching Dates" page :)
If you'd like to get together with the gang before the middle of September though, some of us are meeting at Caroline's on Wednesday to look at her jewellery making stuff, and possibly to make some! I'm also hoping to get a mosaic tutor to work with us at some point during August. I'll keep you posted. There will also be an opportunity to meet at the University gallery during the holidays too. As we are all in a similar boat, either disabled or chronically ill, events are a moveable feast, so do please keep checking back here. Added to this, Stephanie Morris is exhibiting and demonstrating at Attenborough Nature Reserve during August, so do visit and have a look at this lovely, talented lady's work. She makes it look so simple! Oliver Lovley will be "touring" this summer as well. Do check out his website on the links page.
I've just added a really useful site if you're interested in going further with Chinese painting: Sidewinder Studios. Stephanie Morris, our awesome Chinese painting tutor, highly recommends them. Amazing value for money, real depth of colour in the paints, and a whole host of other essentials for all your Chinese brushstroke needs. Of course there are other reputable sites, but this is the one with which we have had personal experience.
So, enjoy the rest of the Summer, and see you on 11th September at The Oasis Centre!
Ciao!
Alli Bennett
