Hi
This is my first post, I hope you will join me in my journey in my studies and tell me about your experiences, whether it be in art or craft. Did you have trouble convincing people that you were serious in what you were contemplating? I know I had contemporaries who thought I was taking this course just to pass the time. It has been something I have wanted to do for a very long time. I was unable to do it when I was younger, one because the family attitude, and secondly, although I had a husband who has supported me one hundred per cent, his job meant we had to move nearly every two years.
I have been able to do short courses in painting, sewing, machine embroidery, spinning, felting and my favourite, dyeing and printing.

Hello Ola, lovely to visit you this way. I often wondered why you do what you do, now I understand, not that I ever thought you did it just to pass the time, your life is far to full for that to be true. Wishing you all the best with your continued studies and I will add this site to my Favourites for future visits.

Hi Ola, It is sometimes difficult to convince people that we are serious, I was turned 50 when I went to sign on at college, left the house convinced I wanted to do machine knitting but got sidetracked into doing the embroidery C&G and I am so pleased I took that first step which introduced me to felting which I am now truly addicted to. I too have completed several short courses including computers, machine knitting, surface design, dressmaking and upholstery
Hi Ola, I too am a new blogger, and I enjoy reaqding yours. I am in my 50s and just learning my artistic side. I haven't got a degree (in art) but hope to go back to school. Welcome to the world of cybertown! Best wishes, Kim
