This month our challenge has the theme of ‘Blooming’, but our members may also choose to work the theme as part of a series which will continue throughout the remainder of the year, or to work it as a stand-alone piece. We hope that this will add an extra layer of interest to our members’ work, which is always varied and worked in their own distinct styles. (It sounds complicated but all will become clear as the year goes on – and I’m sure that each piece will be wonderful in its own right!). The Blooming theme immediately brings to mind flowers, but I think that the members will surprise us with their diverse thoughts on the them. We hope that you will enjoy our first selection of this year.
