...partly "work", with a workshop for the "Deddington Craft Group", a lovely bunch of ladies who threw themselves into making my "Lavender & Lace Dragonfly Panel".
Tea and coffee flowed.....
...and a wonderful lunch was produced by everyone bringing plates of deliciousness. :-)
You can see what a great time was had by that mound of "stuff" in the middle of the table!!
...and every piece was different.
This was the first time for the ladies to have a go at screen printing, but, as you can see from the next couple of photos...
...once they'd had a little trial-run...
...there was no stopping them, and by the end of the morning there were bits of printed fabric over almost every surface in the room!
I think that "Thermofax" will be having a little run on orders sometime soon :-)
Once the workshop day was done, we took the opportunity to spend some time in the Ashmolean.
First off, I headed for the Ancient World....
Cyprus....
...and Crete....
...then shifted downstairs to the textile galleries.
In 2 hours I managed to take 456 photos.
There are a few pieces of artwork going to come out of THAT collection!!! :-))
Off down to Tretower on Wednesday, for the Tretower Festival Day...
...join me if you can....
