A project to encourage WI makers of all abilities to attend workshops being held at Salisbury Museum to knit or stitch spoons! After the spoons have been created they will then be sent to a ceramic artist who will dip your creation in porcelain and fire them to become a very different type of spoon entirely. You will be invited to return to see your knitted or stitched piece on display at the museum.
Exclusively for members of the WI. Salisbury Museum is hosting a series of three workshops in collaboration with the NFWI Craft Committee. The idea of these workshops is to encourage WI members to knit and stitch in response to the collection of spoons found throughout the museum. Salisbury based textile artist Suzie Gutteridgewill attend each workshop to support and encourage members.
All pieces made, finished or unfinished will then be sent to ceramic artist Julie Miles to be dipped in porcelain and once fired, will be exhibited in a small exhibition at The Salisbury Museum in Spring 2017 (date to be announced)
There are three dates:
Wednesday 12th October 2016
10am - 12.30pm
