Katherine Low Settlement AGM 7 Oct 09

Today Viv, Dorothy and I attended the Katherine Low Settlement AGM. It was great to see the finished pieces from the weaving project hung up in the cafe area. These will take pride of place at the Settlement and as one of the members of staff remarked - it was great to see a variety of groups that use the Settlement all working on the same project. Dorothy and Viv received praise for the work they had done and we are looking forward to keeping in touch with the Settlement in the future. One participant, part of the older people's group, mentioned how the skills she had learnt making a textile flower she was now teaching to her grand daughter - good to know skills are being passed on! I was reminded whilst looking at the excellent display of work that it would be good if we could bring all the various pieces we are planning to make in the four boroughs into one space for an exhibition (and/or do a traveling exhibition?). The exhibition could take place at a public library or other public space and include video and photos of the workshops and a display of the workshop workpacks that we are currently planning. We may even be able to include a few public workshops as part of this.
