Winter Workshop - Notre Dame Basket



We've arranged a great Winter Holidays workshop at Headquarters at Concord West on Monday July 14th. Here is Susan Barker's description of her workshop.

"Something with a French flavour, they said, as 14th July is a French National Holiday.
Ater a couple of days and a 'brain storming' session it was decided......
"Notre Dame Basket"
Taking the beautiful 'Rose windows' in many French churches as inspiration, we’ll make a decorative lid for a small woven basket.
We’ll use a 'reverse applique' technique, combined with surface stitchery and beading to make very individual lids for our baskets.
Keep your basket, as a treasure box or give as a gift to another 'special' someone!"

Time: 10am - 3.30 p.m.
Where: Guild Headquarters Concord West
When: Monday 14th July, 2008
Cost: $25 for Members, $30 for non-members (includes most materials)
Bookings to Guild Headquarters on 9743 2501, limit of 12 students.

Hope to see you there, should be great fun, and we'll try to arrange something French for morning tea!
