THIS month West Malvern WI played host to local resident and professional sculptor Caro Sweet, who told the story of how one of her most impressive works came into being. Through Caro's talk and also a short film about Indiana Visionary, an 8.5 ft high solid cast iron sculpture which she created in America in just three weeks, members got an insight into the fascinating world of cast iron sculpture, from the initial sketch right through to the finished work. Caro also talked about how she came to be a professional sculpture, with the inspiring message that it's not too late to follow your dreams!

The next meeting is at St James' Primary School at 7.30pm on Thursday, May 12, a social event where members will be getting to know each other over a glass of wine or cup of tea and also swishing for accessories (like a book swap but with jewellery, scarves, gloves etc). Members also hope to start some sub-groups, so if you'd like to start a sub-group (such as walking group, book club or craft group) then please come along. Non-members are very welcome.
