Before there was social media, there was the WI 💚

Over a century of bringing women together and championing the causes that matter. Anya Hindmarch sums it up perfectly.

🎨 🌿 At last night's meeting we got crafty (and a little bit messy!) with botanical printing using paint and a wonderful variety of leaves to create our own unique designs.

There was plenty of experimenting, lots of colourful results and of course plenty of chatting and laughter along the way!

A big thank you to Carole for sharing this lovely craft with us and inspiring us to have a go.

Who knew leaves could be so much fun?!
