We had a lovely time at the workshop on Saturday making rush memory ropes with Prue Thimbleby and little books and labels with Becky Adams. We'll be running it again next saturday, 9 October from 11 until 1 and 2 until 4. No need to book as it's a drop in session.

Keepsakes project workshop tomorrow (sat 2nd oct) in Oriel 1, St Fagans: National History Museum. Prue Thimbleby and Becky Adams will be showing you how to make and decorate memory ropes.
It's a drop in work shop and runs between 11 and 1 and then 2 until 4, it is suitable for children and adults. Why not come by and make something beautiful.
We are also starting a quilting club on November 6. Am getting excited already!
Ysgol Rhiwmawr came to our Looking at Buildings session today. They made the most fantastic models of Llainfadyn and Nant Wallter
The Keepsakes exhibition opens on 11 September so we are busy getting the gallery ready. So far the walls have been freshly painted and we are waiting for the delivery of our lovely information panels.
The exhibition is in collaboration with Women's Arts Association (for some of the background have a look at my previous keepsakes blog!) who employed artists Becky Adams and Prue Thimbleby to work with community groups in and around Cardiff. The groups looked at objects from the collections in St Fagans: National History Museum and made their own art works inspired by what they saw.
We will be showing the women’s art work alongside the museum’s objects, and here’s a sneak preview of some of the objects that the women have made.
The art cart starts this saturday (31st July). Come and make a paper flower ring!
