West Country EmbroiderersFor those that annually await the return of Everybody’s Embroidery Event to Cheriton Bishop Village Hall, the wait has been a little longer this year since it became necessary for the organiser’s to hold it a few weeks later than usual. On Saturday 12 May, 2012, from 10am until 4pm, admission free, the members of Cheriton Bishop West Country Embroiderers Group welcome visitors to not only view needlecraft of the highest quality, but also to participate in a “Quiltathlon Raffle” by selecting and purchasing cotton fabric squares of their own choice which group members will then sew together to produce a quilt in front at their very eyes. The more squares that are purchased the bigger will be the quilt; and, as with the event, the proceeds go to charity. In a rather unsettling year, the time has arrived for a welcome return of the Belstone Craft Fair that many in Devon look forward to taking place, in the Village Hall, admission free, on Saturday, 12th November, from 10.00am until 4.00pm, with refreshments available. New faces appearing in this year’s popular event include Tim Piper from North Tawton; renowned craftsman who works in the historic traditional style with leather, including producing a distinctive range of bags. David Gundry will display his unique pottery creation and to which he will be devoting his creative talents in further developments, since his recent retirement as a local doctor. Chagford Art GroupThe long-established Chagford Art Group will be holding its Annual Summer Exhibition from Wednesday 10th until Saturday 13th August, from 10.00am until 5.00pm daily, admission free, in the Jubilee Hall, Chagford. The group has gained a wide reputation that exceeds county or area boundaries through its popular mutual-help policy in which member artists share their expertise with others. This year’s exhibition features work in watercolours, oils, pastels and acrylics that includes landscapes by Jo James, Chinese expression by Pat Boyd, aviation specialism by Michael Wheeler and naive scenes by Ursula Radford who will be including some of her new work completed since her New York exhibition. |
