The Great Exhibition!

Hello dear readers from TG's Kate & Sue. The Workshops are nearly over & we are full to brim with creative energy, ideas for other projects & dreams of future workshops. We are busy putting the finishing touches to our projects in time for the exhibition of all the creative arts & crafts from the 5 workshops held this. There is a flurry of activity & much creative tension as the works of satin, silk, silver, precious stones, glass, fabric & various braids & embellishments are prepared for display with loving care.

We must say that the cooks (TG Bernadette & co) have cleary enjoyed a wonderful week however it has to said that not a lot of true commitment has been demonstrated just a lot of drinking, laughing & many stories being told... Unlike TG's Kate & Sue who have spent many hours sewing & soldering by candle light late into the night (not)!!!!!! All our projects have been a collaborative venutre between ourselves & our wonderful indian helpers - who are very patient & sharing of their wonderful craft talents. They are wonderul teachers & we have much to learn from their culture in all areas of our lives - especially their expression "shanti shanti" which means chill out or take it easy.

We must away & make final preparations for the exhibition & the Gala Dinner & Concert which marks the end of the Wonderful Workshops.........

Nameste from TG's Sue & Kate
