25.01.2022 Im thinking of having a go at this next ....... Anyone got some spare rings

23.01.2022 Week ........ I don’t know what, of Covid -19, stage 4 lockdown..... What have you been doing? Please post a pic and a description of what you have been doing, be it lapidary or not. It’s a great way to keep in touch without breaking the safety strategies that Victoria has in place currently. I have been working on a temperature blanket that I started in the January school holidays but only got to January day 5. Now I’m up to February day 7 maybe I will get to March before ...the September school holidays I have also been working on a chain maille necklace designed by my friend Karen Donald. See if you can figure out what it’s going to look like from the pic with all the bits...... maybe draw a design, using the parts pictured, and then post it here

22.01.2022 Some very sad news, Muddy - John Waters, passed away on the weekend because of serious injuries. This was the result of a tragic accident that also took the life of his wife, Joan.

Did you get the membership email? When you read it, change the years listed to 2020/2021. As it is for this year and next year......... not last year...

All you have to do is call the keyholder for that session and book in...... easy ~ peasy ~ Their numbers are on the email sent out a few weeks ago ...... yes go and have a look .
