There were over twenty exhibitors, ranging from textile and wire work, abstract art, watercolours, acrylic art, ceramics, cashmere items, glass workers, sculptors, children’s dressmaker, resin jewellery and calligraphy.

There was a lovely buzz of conversation all around the hall, as regulars to the event, caught up with the artists and as the many new visitors this year, exclaimed on the variety and craftsmanship of the exhibits. A couple of comments made by visitors were: “so many talented artists”, “this is good for the soul”. Many items went off to their new homes with smiling customers.

Alison ter Haar, the group publicity officer, said: “We have had a large number of very positive comments from our visitors about the exceptionally high quality of the work on display and the range of talents represented within our group.”

Our Autumn Arts Trail weekend, 5th & 6th November, will include some free workshops and demonstrations in various arts and crafts, for example: acrylic painting, lino print cutting and calligraphy.
