Just finished my last post and found that I had an email from Cath at Emerald  sat in my inbox ready to be shared.  I'm really happy to be one of fourteen local artists who are being 'hosted' at Emerald for Bucks Open Studios and Cath has lined up a programme of activities over the weekends for you to pop in and have a go or watch demonstrations by some of the artists taking part. 

There is something here for everyone so don't be shy - come and have a play!

Make and Take day fun!

I had a great time on Saturday taking part in the 'Make and Masterpiece' event at Emerald Framing - although I must say after being on my feet from 10 am to 5 pm I was mightly glad to get home and put my feet up on the sofa!

We had a steady flow of people through the morning and then after lunch there was a bit of a rush and at one point I was helping four little people to make cards at the same time!
 
I managed to take a few pictures and I'm sure you will agree that the children (aged 7 to 10) produced some really beautiful cards that they should be really proud of (and all of them went home with all their fingers and thumbs intact).

Julia Hayward had some glass shapes that could be embellished with coloured pieces of glass that once heated would fuse together to create gorgeous art pieces that you could hang in a window.  I had a go at creating a tiny seascape with a boat and can't wait to see what it comes out like once heated. You can see more of her lovely work at:

Teresa Mills had a vast selection of wooden letters and other shapes to mosaic - and the most popular had to be the chicken! We also learnt a lot from Teresa about laser cutting . . . !  You can see some of Teresa's detailed mosaic work in the background of some of the photos below and at:

I have never taken part in anything like this before so it was a real learning experience - would I do it again? You bet!

After a bit of a 'blog famine' I find myself making two posts in one evening - it's a bit like buses, you don't have any news for ages and then you get two good bits to share at once.

On the 3 March 2012 Emerald Framing and Gallery are hosting another popular 'make and take' day where you can pop in and have a go at making something and then take your masterpiece home. A small charge is made to cover materials.

I've been invited to take part this time and will be there with a range of 'collage' inspired Mother's day cards for people to have a go at making (adults and children). This is something else that I haven't done before but am really looking forward to it!

There will also be the opportunity to do a small mosaic with Teresa Mills (I've attended one of her workshops and she's fab) and glass work with Julia Hayward.

The image and advert below are from Cath's website and if you click on this you will be redirected and can find out all the details.

If you want to give card making a go this is a great opportunity because all supplies and materials will be provided - who knows, it could be the start of your adventure with paper, scissors and glue?

    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.
