Purses





As you can see the Purse Patterns are very popular and they
all look so different.
See more purses by clicking on the written labels below.

Cushions




I just love all the different style cushions we are able to make.
See a previous post on how to do Canadian Smocking for the round cushion.

and a Log Cabin Baby Quilt by Brenda.

Classes Started in September 2013



These are catchup posts as The Art Room has been great for
classes and I am catching up with posts.
These are some of the first workshops.
You can see the light is just wonderful.

Still Life


Every week I have decided to set up a new Still Life so there is something
different and interest to paint and photograph but also 
allows me to teach the principles of painting and drawing.
When I was studying my Art Degree I investigated 
the language and meaning  behind the items within their paintings.

the items that artists would set up 

Ready for Classes


Within a week of moving in The Old Art Room was ready for classes
and it is so light and bright especially with its new coat of paint 
and the tables and some art work going up on the wall.

Old Art Transforming




It took us four days to paint the Old Art Room as the walls are
all tongue and grove boarding. 
Mum was drafted in to paint cupboards and the shelves.
These shelves turned out to have a story.
The room was a woodwork room before it was an Art Room 
and Harry Carter, relative of Howard Carter used to
teach wood work in here and he had made the shelves so 
all the tools could be neatly put away in the cupboard!
His wood carving is all around Norfolk including
 the Swaffham sign and in the church.
Before the Art or Woodwork room, when first built it was a Gym!
That accounts for the sprung floor!
