Hello , The Poole Arachnes ( me, Beryl, who lurks, and Jean Nathan) and Jane are meeting up tomorrow (8th Aug) at the Dorset Arts and Crafts Show, Bovington Middle School, not far from Wool and Monkey World. If anyone is in the vicinity we'd love to meet you in person. (Not everyone on the list can afford time or money to go to Prague and IOLI, more's the pity.)
The website is here: Full details can be found at http://www.dorsetartsandcrafts.org/ although not everything has been updated. The show was established in the early 20th century and this year is the 92nd exhibition (suspended during the war years). There are classes for all kinds of crafts as well as Fine Art and Photography. There is even a section for traditional Dorset crafts - buttons, bonnets, smocks and Dorset featherstitch. There are also sales - it's the time to buy those special presents (unique work), as well as books and general needlework and patchwork supplies. The exhibition is well worth seeing; refreshments usually delicious; and many crafts people demonstrating. I will be there myself on the 8th, demonstrating bobbin lace.
