Saturday 19th March - Coiled pots - Una Smith

25 of us had a lovely relaxed Saturday making coiled pots.

After Una showed us the pots that she had made

she then explained the initial process. This involved wrapping a cord ( washing line) with torn strips of fabric. This was then coiled and stitched with a variety of yarns . The coils were formed round a variety of vessels or bowls to create the final show, stitching the coils as we went up the container.

The finished pots 

Thank you Una. 

 Saturday 5th March - Caroline Jariwala - My Mosaic Journey

Caroline gave us a talk this afternoon about her journey from fine arts to mosaics. Her art work and her mosaics are influenced by her Indian background. Paintings and mosaics showed representations of textiles

She has undertaken commission work, some in other countries

A lot of her own home is covered with mosaics which she added to during lockdown

and has recently commissioned doors which she is in the process of filling with glass mosaic

Caroline finished her talk with a demonstration

Thank you Caroline
