A month or so ago, my artist friend Lynne set up a group of like-minded creative mums, planning a skills exchange programme. We meet at a local pub, the Pattenmakers, hence the name. Lynne has run the first couple of sessions so I’ve blundered into the world of still-life, charcoal sketching and observational drawing. Completely out of my comfort zone, but hugely enjoyable as the sessions are the first time I’ve spent any creative time away from my youngest, a welcome break while she spends quality time with her grandparents.
I’ll be running a beginner’s crochet and knitting workshop in a couple of months so I’m busy planning for that. Next month is brooch making, so I’m making a few crochet flowers, I hope people will like them.
