In honour of veterans all around the world, Eckington WI were proud to take part in the Eckington Remembrance Day Service, with our Vice-President laying the wreath on our behalf.
Yes, November was a very crafty month for Eckington WI. We started at our meeting with a talk by our local artist Sian Thomas. We learned about her life in art and how she became involved in watercolours, producing fabulous pictures we all love; she specialises in buildings and quirky pictures of everyday objects. There was a wonderful display of her work at the meeting. We also had our own members selling their own craft work for Christmas.
The week after her talk, Sian led a group of our ladies in a watercolour art workshop. Our craft month finished with another workshop for members, This time we were making felt decorations for the WI Christmas Tree that will be on display at Eckington Church for the village Christmas Tree Festival (Friday 7th December to Sunday 9th December). Our theme will be revealed at the Festival although if you look at the photos, you may get a hint! |
