Batik workshop

Here is the work I did today at a batik workshop. 

It was run by Jelly in the Oracle in Reading, and the tutor was

Caroline Streatfield-Chalk.

It was the first time I have done batik, and I really liked doing it.

The tools are called tjantings

Aunt Elsie's Christmas Do

I went to Aunt Elsie's Christmas Do in Reading on Saturday.There was a marquee filled with stalls selling products by local artists and makers, mulled cider and a great atmosphere. It was run by The Jelly Legg'd Chicken, know as Jelly , which you can find at:- http://jelly.org.uk/ for information about local artists and makers and forthcoming events, art classes and workshops.
