Our last meeting of the year saw us sharing our project and ideas with Anne from the Bradwell Abbey Lacemakers. She showed us some divine examples of lace she had made in the past, and taught us some of the basics of lacemaking. We steamed our way through a pile of mince pies and a bag of chocolate whilst attempting to follow a lace snake pattern- which was executed rather slowly but very successfully.

So, after a solid hour of maniacally festive fun, we thanked Anne for a totally great introduction to lace and parted ways. It's been a fantastic autumn for For'm and at our next meeting - Jan 8th - we will be ready to hit the ground running! 

Merry Xmas!!

visit from the Parks Trust!

We were lucky enough to have a visit from the Parks Trust this week, learning about managing woodland, the endless uses of natural foraged wood and how we can put our new knowledge into practice during our project

For'm's meeting on the 20th Nov took place amongst the ArtworksMK xmas show in the gallery. The nights getting darker and colder, a bit of escapism into the world of animation was necessary. To give us a nice, broad range of film choice to be explored during our future screenings (watch this space) we started by looking at 3 films- all very different but all delectable examples of storytelling at it's best...

'Black Orpheus' a film by Marcel Camus

'Gypsy Caravan: When the Road Bends' a film by Jasmine Dellal

and the masterpiece of choice 'BelleVille Rendezvous' a film by Sylvain Chomet
