End of Year Exhibition
Here's some pics from the end of year student's exhibition. I've mostly focused on the textiles section (there's a surprise!!), but have to say there were lots of lovely pieces from the other art & craft students including glass, photography, jewellery making, life drawing and painting. Here's a few snaps of the back wall of the textiles display:
Brenda's delightful pieces have followed a definite theme and colour story this year. The first piece you may recognise from a previous post where Brenda was at the stage on deciding which background to go for - and here's the finished item - apologies for it being on it's side - for some reason some of my pictures are being rotated as they are downloaded onto this page, and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it!!

| Another rotated shot - the yellow fish is at the top of this hanging - sorry for having to crane your neck to view in all it's glory! |
 |
| More underwater action from Brenda, this time in the form of these lovely cushions |
 |
| Angie's scarf |
 |
| Venetian Skylines |
And here are Angie's lovely creations - the much coveted scarf (above) and the stunning Venetian Skylines head board. The picture really doesn't do it justice
 |
| Catherine's hand embroidery |
Catherine's fine efforts demonstrate a delicate use of colour and the patience of Job with all that fine, detailed hand stitching! Love the colours in her cushion below

This one's determined to be viewed on it's side too. My felted Mog with some rather stunning work by a student from the day time class - couldn't find their name in their sketchbook to be able to identify the work - lovely dragon flies aren't they?

| My Peacock fabric |
I was somewhat envious of these little beauties produced by the Creative Sketchbooks students.
