Fun With Hoops Workshop with Gill Smaggasgale - October 2023
Something different at a recent Kent Workshop lead by Gill Smaggasgale. Using embroidery hoops or picture frames with dried flowers and tulle or pressed flowers and paper or paper flowers with interfacing, participants produced some beautiful work and learnt some new techniques which could be scaled up for the home, flower festivals, church or competitions.

It was lovely to meet some new members of Kent Flower Clubs on the first day of the Beginners Course which is being tutored by the extremely talented and experienced Avril Hill. An afternoon of fun and friendship through flowers
