Friday mornings have come alive at Artisans Nest once more. The Gallery began its Friday morning social gatherings again on 5 August, with Jane Frost leading a merry group in exploring stitch, dyeing and swapping ideas in the workshop room at Artisans Nest, Princes Highway, Bodalla, 10am – 12.30.
Last Friday, 19 August, the group went on an op shop crawl. They met in Moruya at 8.30AM to organise car pooling and drove to Ulladulla to check out op shops and have lunch. This week, Friday 26 August, the group will meet at the Nest to explore embellishment and enhancement of these items from the op-shop adventure (or bring some from home). Bring a sewing kit too if you have one.
Other activities enjoyed so far have included sewing resists ie using stitch to concentrate fabric to resist the dye, and using wax as a resist, both drawing and using stencils.
Cost is $5 plus $5 for materials (where required), morning tea provided. Come along and bring your friends. Join the fun, have a chat, and finish your creative projects in the company of like-minded people, or take part in the more structured activities.
September program to be announced soon.

I will definitely be there in September, having missed the August group as I was out of the country after a death in the family. I look forward to seeing the programme for September.
