Waterperry Trip
A great day! That was our verdict at the end of an inspiring
visit.
We always return from Waterperry amazed at the variety and
standard of art and craft in this country. An entire marquee was devoted to
painting. As usual the glasswork, ceramics and embroidery were stunning as well
as furniture (including musical instruments) jewellery and metalwork. We were
fascinated at the different types of printing being demonstrated and in the
International Tent we watched cut paper work using sheep shears, marbling and
intricate wood carving. At lunchtime we listened to the A440 String Orchestra
in the Amphitheatre then wandered round the gardens. The Art Materials Tent was
well worth a visit. All this was interspersed with drinks on the lawns and a
"Wimbledon " Pancake (the best bit!)
We are very grateful
to Helen for organising this trip which went very smoothly and gave us a
memorable day.
