This weekend workshop promises to be an exciting and sociable event, with an opportunity to discover and experiment with two very different enamelling processes. We hope that people will bring examples of previous work using these media, share ideas and learn from each-other. We would also like everyone attending to dine together in Shrewsbury on Saturday evening. Places are limited to 10 and are for both days, allocated on a first come basis.
The liquid (wet process) enamel workshop on Saturday will be led and supplied by John Ball of W G Ball Ltd (manufacturers). This is an opportunity to discover the wonderfully spontaneous application methods and design opportunities of working with wet process enamels. Pattern, texture, sgraffito, marbling, dipping, painting, printing etc can all be explored. Come and play!

The Sunday leaf & foils workshop will be led by Ruth Ball. She has had a great deal of experience of working with leaf / foils in her own work as well as in teaching previous workshops, and is a fount of knowledge and inspiration. Please supply your own foils & leaf to work with. Please bring all your own enamelling accessories, stilts, jewellery enamels, leaf / foils, copper or whatever substrate you wish to work on. Some copper will be available to purchase at the workshop.

Travel directions, a list of equipment to bring and suppliers list will be sent on receipt of your payment.

Fiona's Marathon Update

Hello all,

I just wanted to thank you for your generosity and wonderfully supportive comments. I had a great race and completed in 3.50 53 seconds setting a new PB. Jill was the closest with a time of 3.50 30secs being 23 seconds out and so wins the Jewellery. Apologies if I let you down on your guessed time, maybe next yr……who knows sub 3.45!

Thanks once again, with your help I have managed to raise in excess of £3000 for a very worthwhile charity.

Best wishes
Fiona

Fiona Rae & The London Marathon

Hello All,

Yes it is that time of year again and I am mad enough to consider running the London Marathon yet again. This year I am trying to raise money on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Society.

It would be really great if you would consider sponsoring me. To make it a little more exciting there is a prize of a piece of jewellery- Fiona Rae of course- to whoever guesses closest to my actual finishing time.
Please take a moment to sponsor me. It's really easy - you can donate online by credit or debit card at the following address:

www.justgiving.com/fionaflm2008

All donations are secure and sent electronically to Alzheimer's Society. If you are a UK taxpayer, Justgiving will automatically reclaim 28% Gift Aid on your behalf, so your donation is worth even more. Please join me in supporting Alzheimer's Society and a fabulous cause.

Thanks and best wishes,

Fiona
