Textile Talk with Great Cake – Jae Maries 12 June 2015 Cancelled
Last year I was asked to join a textiles group room6 …see website room6textiles.com
The group consists of six artists all originally connected with Eastleigh College. For our launch event we booked Rozanne Hawksley to give a talk. Sadly she has had to cancel but on the upside Jae Maries is now going to give a talk on her textile art. I will try and attach a flyer when I work out how to. Finding it a bit tricky at the moment goodness only knows why.
Tickets are now available at £12. The talk takes place at lower Upham Village Hall on the 12th June 2015. This price includes tea and cake and there will be a book stall and raffle.
Please contact me or Susan Chapman for tickets.
