Dove Valley Centre visit
The visit, gifted to BV by Elspeth, Paul & Sarah to celebrate the Queen’s Award, was delightful. The sun shone, creative juices flowed (assisted by delicious food) & the ‘walking group’ enjoyed the sounds & sights, including a weasel swimming across the pond.

SW Peak Patchwork
Elspeth will eventually mount them on card, so that the squares can be arranged & displayed, but this is an initial selection of the lovely pieces inspired by our visit to the Dove Valley Centre in May.

‘Potted’ Landscapes
Guided by Sue, people built coil pots, added 3D relief & painted them with coloured ‘slips’. After firing, these 2 examples will become more shiny & colourful.
