Exhibition Updates......

The Girls work can still be seen at Rainham Hall and on the second Friday of the month there is a Material Girl working in the house as Artist in Resident. Last month it was Viv this month it was me (Miriam) the day was very busy as it was the Easter holidays and the schools were on a break, a lot of interest and the public joined in stitching English Paper Piecing!

Day One to Ten Studio in Action

I think we can call the 'Studio in Action' exhibition a success with almost 400 visitors over the 10 days the exhibition was open in the Hayloft. Every day one of 'The Material Girls' was in residence and working on a project of their choice, it was interesting to engage in conversation with the visitors either about the work in the exhibition, our own work or both. This is only a small part of our work with Rainham Hall, it is ongoing, some of the work can still be seen in the main house. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words so ..........
