is our bi-annual Members' Show which showcases the work of all our members. This
year the show is loosely thematic based around the concept of “Craft as Art",
exhibiting items that are hand-crafted for functional, everyday use - or items
that are created from everyday items - yet which also convey an intrinsic
artistic expression in their own right. This is a wonderful opportunity to see
the wide variety of forms that our community's creativity
takes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
