Angela, Sally, David, Mo, Borin, Hilli and Malcolm made up an enthusiastic meeting with wide-ranging discussions, as ever. When it came to'works in progress' Malcolm brought along an array of materials and tools (tissue balls, sandpaper, lolly sticks etc.) used in his normal painting practice. And normally thrown away. With a little modification/decoration they became rather more than the dross we normally throw away without thinking. Light and airy, some members wanted them as jewellery. Hilli brought along her prototype 'jam jar melts' (author's nomenclature). Intriguing pools of molten glass, some still showing the thread around the neck, now a ribbon-like folded decoration with coloured glass shining through, some looking like pursed lips. Satisfyingly heavy and bold pieces. We hope to include pics here soon.
Refinement of decisions about our project agreed at the meeting.
January's meeting will be the deadline for all participants to bring all their work to Angela's for the group to review and make plans for the show. We then have elbow room before the launch in April. We'd also also like members with a selection of pieces to meet Robin at Frame Workshop on a Saturday morning at 10 following the deadline date (Malcolm to arrange). Robin is very excited by our project as it is so different from his normal shows. We'd like to do postcards of, say, six pieces to be sold (for e.g. 50p each) at the show.
