Went to see the 'Made in Bolton' exhibition at Asda created by the very talented Drummond Street Craft and Culture group. The workshops and exhibition were sponsored by Christine Baldwin the Community Champion of Bolton Asda who works with Lesley Tyrer the activities coordinator for Bolton at Home Sheltered Housing Scheme.  The group meets on Monday's 10-12.

The work was about the daily lives of Mill Workers in Bolton.  We experimented with Gelli Plate printing and fabric image transfer.  The work they made was amazing.

Project Postcard: Part One

.We are working with three Sheltered Housing units in Bolton: Highfield House, Eldon House and Drummond Street using resident's pictures and images from the internet to create a postcard about their favourite holiday or their dream vacation. Everyone is making their own fabric postcard which will be sewn together into a wall display.  

We've enjoyed reminiscing about the seaside, trips abroad, ice cream, sunbathing and other stories from the past and from not so long ago.  Blackpool has been a popular choice. Marie and Pat are creating a postcard of their dream holiday to visit Memphis, Tennessee to see Graceland.  Ian is going to Corfu and will literally be there next week.  We are also "visiting" the Lake District, Spain and Paris.
