The Decorative Folk Artist July 2017

The Decorative Folk Artist Hi Members, and welcome to July 2017 BREAKING NEWS! The guest teacher for the 2018 BADFA Convention will be SHARA REINER. You can see Shara’s distinctive style on her website, and see her teaching on You Tube. Details of the designs she’ll be teaching will be in the next newsletter. The costs for the classes, and hotel are expected to be similar to this year. As there has been no other submission or suggestion, the venue will be the Ibis Hotel, Parklands, Crick, NN6 7EX, and the dates are 11/12/13 May 2018. As we did this year, teachers will be invited to submit projects that will be taught as an alternative, for those who would prefer something different to Shara’s designs. Teachers will be reimbursed at the same rates as this year. So teachers, get your designs prepared ready for the application form in the next newsletter. Submissions must be in by 30 November, and by mid- December the committee will decide which designs are successful. This will give you plenty of time to finalise your project. The rest of the itinerary will be similar to previous events. Thanks to everyone who has renewed their membership for 2017/18. Check out our new Facebook Group for members only - details on p3.
