meeting

Nicola led this month's meeting/workshop and chose Ermintrude the Cow. Now I know a cow isn't exactly Easter themed, but the crème egg is and making anything with a creme egg has to be fun right? Nicola's Ermintrude is loosely based on the Magic Roundabout character through the years and...

We originally planned to have a different demo with Marilyn this month; however, due to unforeseen weather and circumstances, she was unable to attend. So, instead of cancelling the meeting, Judith graciously stepped in and taught us how to create the "Cats Entwined on a Branch" design. We...

I know it isn't quite Christmas yet, but we were ahead of schedule at this month's meeting and gearing up for the festivities. I always enjoy the mini-demos that happen at the meetings because they allow you to see people's skill set, garner inspiration, and get one-to-one guidance on how to...

This month's meeting was relatively informal. It began with discussions of the upcoming events over the coming months and then we got a detailed account of the ladies' submissions in the recent shows and how they faired. Nicola made this fabulous Blackpool Tower, Christine handmade Hilda...

Thanks to Nicola and Judith, we're back on with the meetings again this year, and luckily they asked Neil McGrath to start us off with an array of chocolatey treats. This chocolate tulip mousse dessert was just one of the products that Neil showed us how to re-create, and we also got to taste...

So this was our final meeting of the year, and it didn't disappoint as Judith had our creative juices flowing by teaching us how to do some Iris Folding. Now, if like me, you've never heard of it, let alone done any, it's generally used for cards and crafts. However, for this meeting, we were...

Look at this beautiful Geode Cake made by the lovely Saheda Lally. We were lucky enough to meet her at this month's BSG meeting, where she gave us a step-by-step demonstration showing us how to make our own. Saheda ran through a range of techniques advising us how to colour the crystals and...

We were back at our BSG meeting over the weekend, and this time we made the Dinosaur that Julie Rogerson had taught us how to make at our previous meeting. I had the pleasure of sitting with Frances, Marion and Evelyn, who have a wealth of knowledge between them, and we chatted about things...

So we're now back after the summer break, and what a wonderful way to return to the BSG meetings than with a demo from Julie Rogerson! Julie has been making models for over ten years and has numerous accreditations under her belt. As well as being a fabulous tutor, she has also written her own...

We had the pleasure of receiving a demonstration by the lovely Pat Smith this month at our BSG meeting who was showing us how to make Edible Gladioli sprays like the one below. Pat took the time to carefully show us each stage of making the flowers and explained what tools we would need and...
