What a coincidence that Judith Lovatt came to talk to the Branch on Friday 1st November as both the feast of Diwali and Guy Fawkes were being celebrated! As the fireworks were going off outside, she used the word “explosion” as she demonstrated ways of pushing the boundaries of drawing,
design and embroidery in our work.
The work shop on Saturday 2nd was fun and experiential. We
were all working at various levels and Judith coped with all our diversities. She
also gave us time to talk about our emerging samples of work with each other,
which proved to be another learning experience. See some examples of these below.
Judith is an excellent tutor and ran a very comfortable workshop.
