AGM 2007

19th May 2007 we met up in Derry Hill village Hall, in Calne, Wiltshire for the Guild's annual general meeting.

Sue Heaser gave an informative talk on how to get published (or how much hard work it is, and perhaps you should think twice about doing a book!) Karen Kirby gave demonstrations on making absolutely tiny miniature roses and flowers (I'm not a miniaturist, but they had to be seen to be believed!) Carol Blackburn had her new book on display as well as the jewellery items featured in the book. It was wonderful to pick up the pieces and look at them first hand.

It was also great to put faces to the names that I've been in contact with (but please forgive me if I promptly forget your names again next time we meet!)

Sue also had the polymer clay pit there and we all took advantage of rummaging through packs and packs of clay and claying goodies and spending obsene amounts of money.

Several people had brought some of their work with them and put them on display.

A news report on the AGM itself will be on the website shortly. Meanwhile here are some pictures I took on the day. If you or your work is pictured, please let me know so I can add the details. I made careful note of who everyone was, who made what, and promptly lost the notes and forgot who was who etc!
