No more Vacillating!

Hello there
It has been a while since I signed in but here I am again to report on the May workshop.
Instead of sitting one to a table separately in the hall we have put the tables in a large square and all sit facing each other. We have been doing this for a few months now and it seems to work really well. We can all see each other and hear everything that is said.
The big decision yesterday was about a suitable venue for our September 2016 exhibition. Not wanting to prolong the vacillations any more and realising we were unlikely to have a full compliment of Maids in one place at one time, those present have chosen the gallery that seems to tick the most boxes and will report as soon as it is confirmed. Great excitement all round!
I have taken a few photos of the group working on their chosen projects.

It is very inspiring to work with such accomplished artists and I always come home determined to produce more and better!
More next time and thank you for following us.
