Their appreciation of what they are viewing is greatly enhanced if they do have some understanding. So we hope to use Habitat as a 'mission to explain'. We are asking members to photograph the creative process and to illustrate and explain techniques and materials used. This will all be included in the exhibition. After the exhibition we will be running a series of classes each covering a different stitching project. Workshops Come and join is at one or more of our workshops.
