BOBBY BRITNELL AND DOROTHY TUCKER
  have been to Galway.......hurrah!!!

After an exciting journey we arrived in Galway on the Friday, were settled into our B and B and then ventured out for a lovely meal amidst music and entertainment. Our teaching, in separate venues, took place on the Saturday and Sunday, 16th and 17th April and was such fun for us both........and hopefully the students as well. I do not have images to share of Dorothy's group, but here are the results from mine. We were  doing a design based workshop using Ben Nicholson as a starting point in someone's kitchen!!!






























We covered a lot of work in the two days and I was thrilled with the results.  

Dorothy was doing  FLOWERS AND LEAVES:  An introduction to Kantha and her students were also very happy with the work produced which was in the style of Dorothy's samples below.
