Last meeting report:

A super workshop by Carol King, whose talent, knowledge and patience are superb.  Guided through the book making process we all produced a hardback A5 sketchbook containing sheets of quality cartridge and / or watercolour paper. We were challenged, stimulated and rewarded by the process and each of us produced a very professional sketchbook.  Everyone who attended couldn’t thank Carol enough for her organisation and patience. Note the very happy faces proudly showing off their work, (photographs can be seen in the workshop gallery below the 2026 programme).
