41 Club Workshop

Well Monday evening was a first for me--we have had loads of all ladies workshops but never an all male one! Tim who organised the evening has been with his family to several workshops in the past, and is a member of the 41 club in Bridgnorth..they do a different thing every month--and this month it was a painting workshop!

They had a choice of colours,,,

One or two of the chaps had painted before but it was a first time experience for most of them...

It was great fun and we had lots of laughs with them!

It was amazing how quickly they started getting ideas of their own--the one on the right ended with a castle and a lighthouse and was somewhere in Scotland!

Tim wanted his to represent an African scene..

I think everyone managed to create some lovely paintings with nobody struggling at all to do so...

Everyone enjoyed looking at every ones else's paintings--and chatting about them!

Well done everyone---brilliant results!

News...

Although I have only just put the next Birches workshop on the website there are only 3 places left in it on Aug 22nd...and I'm sure 2 of yesterdays students are gong to book it as well so I will be looking at updating the workshop dates asap this week with luck.

I cant believe how quickly the time is flying by this year...We will be at Dilwyn show this year on Bank holiday Monday 4th May  after missing it last year due to a family wedding the same weekend-that will be the first big show of the season..and one we look forward to very much!

We have a big space--so plenty of room to get everything out!

I was over at Worfield WI on Thursday evening to do a demo for the ladies of the WI there..it was a lovely evening--3 of the ladies have previously been to workshops..and a lot of them want to come to some future workshops, so it will be lovely to see them again!

Maggie won the Waterfall painting and Sheri the Summer Day painting.. We are over at the same village hall tomorrow evening to run a workshop for 14 members of the 41 club-- looking forward to meeting up with Tim again and we will be painting small version of Yesterday .Am looking forward to it very much..
