It's getting closer, so on December 7, we invite you to join us to make a unique ornament Christmas card using the 'iris folding' technique, instructed by our own multi-talented Gladys Fieldhouse.
Iris folding is a fun and easy paper folding technique that can be used to make greeting cards, on scrapbook pages, or designs can be framed and hung on a wall. The texture and depth that you feel when handling an iris folded greeting card or scrapbook page is the best part. The online photos can't possibly duplicate this.
Gladys Fieldhouse is a long time SCACA member who does many crafts, card making is only one of them. She is truly a Simcoe County gal! She was born in the Alliston Stevenson Memorial Hospital and attended school in Essa Township and Banting Memorial High School, Alliston.
Gladys assures us she does fit in housework, but it is around her interest in paper tole, tole and decorative painting, water colour painting, crochet, knit, stained glass, floral arranging, beading, creative wedding invitations. In addition, Gladys teaches cake decorating, enjoys line dancing and publisher work on the computer, also judges at agricultural fairs, and last but not least, gardening.
Gladys has no involvement in any of the guilds, but belongs to the Tec We Gwill Women’s Institute and the Bondhead and District Horticulture Society, and is on the list of judges for the Ag Fairs in District 5.
You should bring with you for the Dec workshop: sharp paper scissors and good scotch tape, on a desk dispenser if you have one -- thus holding the paper with one hand, and dispensing the tape with the other.
The meeting is held at the Simcoe County Museum at 1pm sharp until 3:30pm. The general public is invited to attend. There is a charge of $5 for members and $10 for non-members which covers instruction, materials and refreshments.
