September Day School - Anne Burrow - Raising the Surface with Gesso



















This month we were visited once again by the delightful, and always welcome, Anne Burrow. This time Anne was introducing our members to a new medium - Gesso. Anne was soon demonstrating how to add colour ...














... and texture ...















... and, as usual, there were lots of samples to whet our appetites.














Here is Pam getting 'stuck in' to her pot of Gesso - perhaps a little too literally?



















Anne is adding her floral elements ...














... and Florence and Brenda are enjoying their coffee as they get started.














Marie and Sue getting some advice.














Maureen is well under way ...














... as are Christine and Jean.














Marie and Anne enjoying a joke.














Meanwhile, lots of other things were going on. Some Horrockses dresses on display to get the creative juices flowing ...














... and the 'girls in the back room' were hard at it ...















... 'sorting and siding'. We've been clearing out a lot of cupboards!















Elaine, Mary, Kath and Gina are hard at work too.














Beryl and Anne are concentrating hard ...



















... and Pam has managed to 'raise her surface' too!



















Maureen's is very precise and delicate ...

... and Sue is recording her 'hearts and flowers' for posterity.
