Landscape Canvas Workshop

Here are some wonderful landscape samples created by my workshop ladies during the past two months.   They will all eventually be mounted on a 12" x 12" canvas.

Lots of new skills - transferring images, printing onto various fabric types, adding text, using Derwent Inktense Pencils and Blocks (painting before and after stitching).

Royal Arcade Norwich

Having worked on fauna and flora so much during the last few years I thought I would have a complete change and look at some of the wonderful buildings in Norwich.  Here is a glimpse of one of my pieces.



This is only 4" in height and was made up of many small pieces.

Feed Dogs Down Exhibition



We have had lots of visitors to our first exhibition already despite the cold and wet weather. 


Lets hope it continues over the next three days.


Admission is free and there are a variety of techniques and styles on show.  You are welcome to take photographs and we have a sales table too.

Plenty of nice coffee and tea houses nearby plus the odd wine bar or two.
