SUMMER SCHOOL
Our Summer School 2001, held at the beginning of July, proved to be a very enjoyable international event. Nicholas Lodge and Margaret Ford both shared the teaching and students came from the U.K., Japan, Holland and Sweden. The first two days of sugarcraft included making nasturtium, dahlia and dianthus and the last two days of cold porcelain involved decorating a picture frame in a garden theme. An afternoon in York, an Indonesian Evening, and the glorious weather (we have never eaten outside so much for years!) made the whole event very memorable :

                     

      

Then another group from Japan, led by Toshie Harashima, came for the Summer School Extra, to make a "Strawberry Basket" in cold porcelain. We had private transport to and from the York Hotel, and this was a most successful two-day class - it was good to see some students return to York for their second and third visit!
