*Jackie has been a much valued member of Minerva over the last few years, but has been unable to contribute to this year's exhibition due to ill health.
Members visited Watt’s Chapel, Compton, Surrey in October 2015 on the recommendation of our friend and fellow textile artist Janetta Sosin. We were absolutely stunned by what we found and the fact that no one we spoke to had heard of this ‘hidden treasure’. This work is based on our visit.
Mixed Media Challenge
The group were provided with the following materials:
· Tyvek
· Lutradur 30
· Bondaweb
· Kitchen Towel
· Gilding Flake
· Angelina
· Transfer Foil
· Chiffon square
· 3 x drink stirrers
· Turquoise thread
We were challenged to use each of the materials and at least ½ square inch (or equivalent sized shape) of the thread. Each of the items had to be used but they did not have to use the full amount provided. For example, they could use one drink stirrer or just some of the Angelina.
