New Website Launched

Have a new website for my knitwear and silks just launched

 Still has lots to add but thought I'd get it out now.

From Jenny Callomon:
I have a textile group 'Running with Scissors ', we are four in number. We are exhibiting with ICHF at the NEC in Birmingham 21st - 24th March and at Londons'
Excel 4th- 6th April.
I shall have 8 dolls displayed plus mixed media/ textile pieces .

Also, we are taking part in the SOS ( Suffolk Open Studios) every weekend in June.
I will have more dolls during the open studio month. This takes place  
at Antar Studio,
Marlinspike Hall, Walpole , IP199AR. This will be in the open studios booklet.

 

Creative Cloth Doll Makers

 

We are a small group of enthusiastic doll makers who meet on the last Saturday of every month ( 10.00 - 4.00 ) in Farnborough Hampshire,to learn new skills and practice old ones.We have a pleasant environment to work in with a self contained kitchen and loo.

 

We would like to welcome new members to the group so if you are interested in meeting us please contact Judith on   judith.stainer@googlemail.com

The Dover Bookshop will close on March 24th - which is such a shame - its a great resource and a lovely shop to visit.  Visit online or in person before it goes.
