Our first meal in our new retreat!

2015 December Meeting – Making Our Own Artist/Note Book

Suki White gave us a brilliant workshop at our December meeting showing up the various different Artists’ Books that she’s bought and made, and then gave us a demonstration on how to make our own. Cue the Blue Peter bit of lots of Pritt Sticks, cut out magazine photos, plain white paper … and a lot of imagination!

2015 Retreat – Castell Courtyard

For our 2015 retreat we didn’t travel far. In fact, we only just crossed the border into Wales and the beautiful Tanant Valley.

All good retreats involve midnight walks

2009 – October Workshop with Nick Fletcher

Our 2009 October Workshops were facilitated by local writer, Nick Fletcher, who’s written over 30,000 articles and several books.

A packed Wellington Town Council Chamber, as we listen to Nick.

2013 (Back to) Llanfendigaid

We’d heard on the grapevine (okay, it was the Internet) that Llanfendigaid had been refurbished, so we couldn’t resist the opportunity of going back to this Welsh coastal property for another retreat.

It’s written in the sands!
