Over the weekend of the 7/8 August, we had a Stipple tutorial with Jimmy Denison-Pender.  After a slideshow presentation, Jimmy showed us all 'how' to stipple for a good effect, using the best techniques that most of us had not used before, also how to sharpen the tungsten point properly, once we achieved this, the standard of engraving improved dramatically!!  The entire weekend was very enjoyable, entertaining and informative.

Our next meetings are:

3 October  -   Edmond  entertaining us by bringing his copper wheel, he says we can all have a go!!
5 December  -   Christmas meeting + Christmas competition

The Branch will be displaying work with an Autumn/Harverst theme at the National Glass Centre, Sunderland, from the 5 October - 16 November this year.  There will also be demonstrations.  All dates for demonstrations are on the National Glass Centres website: http://www.nationalglasscentre.com/exhibitions.html
