We have a bi-annual exhibition in conjunction with Dorset Arts Week. This year is our 25th Anniversary. We hope you enjoy looking at our work and activities during our meetings and workshops.

Retrospective Five - 30 April 2012

This workshop was held in April 2012 and it focused on delicate hand embroidery. This is taught by the ever popular Beppy Berlin, a delightful Dutch lady, who is so skilled in this type of work and is very talented.  She is so able to bring traditional techniques to life and to give them a contemporary feel.  On this occasion, the idea was to stitch three triangle shapes and then form them into a pyramid, fill it with rice and the final piece becomes a paperweight.
