we stitched and sewed
we dyed
we ate well
and
inhaled deeply of the fragrance of flowers
made a blot
marveled at the mysteries of woad
shared stories and
created shapes on bodies
for me it was a wonderful week
catching up with old friends who had journeyed far
and meeting new ones
in Jenni Worth's wonderful brewery
filled with delicious textile treasures that
gladdened the eyes and inspired our work
oh l wish l had been there. There was some amazing work done by the look of the work on the line.x
