President's Letter November 2024

The Association held its Annual General Meeting on 31st October 2024. We had a great chat from Carolyn Rogers about her work of sculptural textiles on reclaimed wood. We did run the meeting online as well as at the Camberwell Community Centre. The reports included the usual financial report and reports on all our coordinators' work. The PDF treasurer's report can be sent to members needing that information and it was presented at the meeting.

    

A slideshow of our activities in 2024 accompanied the president's report.

Visit to the Deannach Collective in Kallista

 

This was a surprisingly lovely place for a group of artists to collect and create. As an ex nursery, the venue is perfect for encouraging art. They were very welcoming, even offering homemade sausage rolls and nibbles.

Each artist spoke about their work with passion and delight. The name Deannach means ‘dust’ and, as carvers of limestone, there was plenty. The collective has a public opening from 30th Nov to 23rd of December.

It’s well worth the lovely scenic drive there. Not far at all.
