Our demonstration by Jo Boggan last night took us on a guided tour from the three bridges over the Firth of Forth along the 'Fife Pilgrim Way' to St Andrews. A very educational trip with some lovely plant material along the way.

We had an entertaining evening with Julie Pearson 'Going for Gold' with some innovative mechanics and fabulous plant material!
No photos of the demonstration pieces on here as her tour continues.
Our workshop, at Gracefield Art Centre, the following day brought members from neighbouring clubs together to try out some techniques involving wax, wire and lots of drilling! Some drills worked better than others but we all went home with either a finished design or with all the components and ideas to play with!
It was fun and friendly and lunch was delicious 🙂
