Our creativity engagement group has been running once a month since 2002, as a midweek evening event, and we are due to hold our 50th meeting in May 2007. It is co-facilitated by Jane Blackall and Patricia Walker-Hesson, however, all members take turns to lead sessions as they are able. The biggest project of this group so far has been our "Advent Art and Craft Fair", an annual event, held for the second time in 2006. This event has been very successful, in terms of being a fun day for the congregation, and because we were able to raise money for a good cause.
Collected photos from the last few years follow below...
The first phase of our seasonal wall-hanging, autumn-winter 2006.
Each person has made one or more panels to represent the seasons.
This wall-hanging was inspired by the work of Louise Emberson.
