Fen Edge Textiles Exhibition

FenVAC committee member, Jenny Furlong, is part of the Fen Edge Textiles group who are having an exhibition at the National Trust property, Sutton Hoo, in Suffolk during June. The exhibition runs from 6th June to 21st June 2009 from 10.30am to 5pm, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Much of the textile work is based on artefacts found at Sutton Hoo. If Jenny's glorious work (see below for one of her previous pieces) is anything to go by the exhibition is well worth a visit! ;o)

Member's Skills/Services

It has been suggested recently that FenVAC members could help each other out in many ways and I believe this is a great idea. ;o) Our membership is comprised of all manner of folk with a huge variety of different skills/talents and in these times of economic recession helping each other out seems a beneficial thing to do.

To start the ball rolling, Rob Morris is offering FenVAC members a 10% discount on any photographic requirements. Rob has recently taken the plunge and is now working full time as a photographer/visual artist. He works on a huge variety of projects from portraits, weddings and other celebratory events through to magazine work, charity projects and visual art for regular exhibitions.



If you'd like to discuss having your artwork photographed or any other photography needs please do contact Rob by email or by telephone on 07935204209. To see more of his work visit his website or blog.

If you have a skill, service or special offer you'd like to offer to FenVAC members please do contact me with details and I will post all the info here on the blog.
