  2016Flower Pounding WorkshopOne Saturday in May, nine members attended a workshop given by Linda Rudkin. There was a lot of tapping from our hammers as we transferred images from petals and leaves onto fabric. In the afternoon we learnt how to trap plant material onto fabric - these results could be used for cards and pictures. We all enjoyed a relaxing and creative day with many ideas for future experimentation. =============================== |
