May - Collective Art in Marlow

The 17 - 19 May marked the first Collective Art in Marlow event of the year.  I was really happy to be invited to take part again and spent a lovely weekend at the Pugin Rooms with some fabulous artists and makers.  

At this event we held four workshop sessions giving visitors a chance to try their hands at working with glass, copper, mosaic and felt.

May - Frogmoor Paper Mill

On the 20 May Marlow Art and Crafts Society held a trip to Frogmoor Paper Mill in Hemel Hempstead.  The mill is located next to the River Gade which connects to the canal system - once providing a 'speedy' transport link to get the paper to London for the print industry.

We had a tour of the paper mill - and to see paper being produced from a watery slush of fibres was just fascinating.  After a lunch of fish and chips we had a short boat trip on the River Gade.   

This was well worth taking a day off work for!

    My name's Jacqueline and I invite you to join me on my adventure in mixed media 'arting and crafting'.

    I craft from my kitchen table at my home in Marlow-on-Thames in Buckinghamshire in England and want to use this blog to share my latest ideas and work.

    If something you have seen inspires you to have a go please do share the result with me.
