Bristol Workshop

Jo's Tiger Baby...

In recent weeks, the West Country has been suffering, once again, from incessant wet weather. The rain has been virtually constant and rivers, streams and fields are waterlogged as ever more rain falls on already saturated land. One had to feel sorry for those people who are cleaning out flooded homes for the third time in as many weeks, but by whose demeanour one would never guess the despair they must certainly be feeling, a cheerful face put towards the TV cameras that broadcast their plight across the nation.

The lunches were fantastic

We drove towards this unfolding story on Friday, as Frances had arranged another weekend of classes and workshops at The Aztec Centre in Bristol; one day making a  Fancy Dressed Tiger Baby and some tiny Sugar Shoes and the next day spent creating Lily The Pink Fairies. Whilst the rain continued to pour outside, the ladies laughed and worked their way through the two days, enjoying the company and certainly the lunches, but also leaving with some high class pieces that they had created with a little help from Frankie.

The time flew by and the laughter gradually subsided as each of the students packed away their creations, preparing themselves for the damp and dark journey home. As always we hope the weekend was enjoyed by all and we look forward to meeting our new friends and old again in the future.

Another lunch...and Laura's stray Hubbie...
