8 THE NEW COUNTESTHORPE HERALD
ACTIVE ARTS NEWS
We discovered that it is easier to collect in and display all the pictures that featured in our Art display than to return them to their artists but everyone seems to have enjoyed them being on the Greenfield School fence, thanks for that hospitality and of course for the paintings.
A recent workshop led by the talented willow worker Catherine Tregaskes resulted in all the participants creating obelisks like this one Each one is special and will be used in a particular way probably in the next planting season. I think ours will be ideal for my favourites, Sweet Peas, but its creator may just have other ideas and of course he is the gardener.
Saturday October 30th is in many calendars already as the date of our Craft Market at Countesthorpe Academy when we are sure to be busy with lots of early Christmas shopping being done. You need to know that the opening hours are 10 until 4 and there will be refreshments
OCTOBER 2023
