  Craft group                                           

THE Museum's Art and Craft Group is under way. The ladies who attended the successful initial meeting expressed an interest in becoming members and so it was re-launched.

    Meetings, which are free of charge, are held every Tuesday between 10am and 12noon.  

   The group's initial project was "A Victorian Christmas'', which produced items for display and sale to boost Museum funds in December 2011.

   The members also take part in specialist workshops with outside experts, for which there will be a charge.

  

BEFORE it was disbanded, a similar group held workshops with professional artists including weavers and tapestry producers.

   Visitors to the Museum will be familiar with the work of the former group which included a range of painted banners depicting scenes from the history of Nantwich. Tapestries celebrating the town and commemorating the Civil War are currently displayed in the Joseph Heler Room of the Museum. Rag rugs were another interest and culminated in a major exhibition at the Museum.

   Pictured is a poster for an exhibition staged by the original group at Christmas 2000.
