The members of Welland Art and Crafts Group welcomed Mel Howells to their June meeting with her amazing collection of traditionally made willow baskets. Mel explained the construction of the baskets before taking a length of cane to make a fish hanging from a rod and line; this took her less than a minute. She then handed out bendy canes to members and encouraged them to have a go. It soon became obvious that we all had a lot to learn after it took us over twenty minutes to make one amid much hilarity.
The next meeting of the group is the Annual General Meeting on Friday 8 July followed by Cheese and Wine.
