Spider Cakes

Here's Robbie with some wonderful cupcakes with Halloween spiders on them, made by his sister Manda for all the centre users at the Halloween party, thanks so much from everyone at the centre they taste amazing, all we need to do now is persuade Manda to make some  Xmas ones!

Think you'll agree everyone is looking very frightening- at our Halloween Party, can't make up my mind who the winner of the fancy dress will be we might need to take a vote! 

Wood Group - V- Art Group

Here at the centre we do a lot or collaborative work so here John has made a frame, using the band saw, cutting mitre joints , then cut the class and sealed the frame.  Meanwhile Jackie,the artist has been working on this for the last two weeks. 

And you can see it now hangs above the fireplace , I think we are all agreed and wonderful job from both.
