Charity Fun Day - With Margaret Hammond

Well anybody that didn't attend missed a really good days painting of Reuben Chezza Bear designed by Cheryl Bradshaw but demonstrated by Margaret Hammond. Her preparation & enthusiasm for the project put most of the tutors we've had to visit to shame. She had painted each stage of the project on a huge clip board so everybody could see which stage we were at, her instructions were clear and precise which meant we weren't jumping up and down continually to watch her demonstrate. She came round and made sure that we all knew what we were doing, stopping to give advice and encouragement all the way round the room, she even gave us each a lovely little gift box with mini Easter eggs inside. This really was the icing on the cake so to speak as we were all uplifted by the occasion and appreciation of Margaret's efforts on our behalf. There were 10 of us taking part, all of varying competencies but all having a great deal of fun.... Even the jokes were of a good calibre.

Fantastic day had by all, many many thanks Margaret do it again soon.
