It’s a chance to develop your photography skills, learn the art of labyrinth, or to make a number of autumn themed crafts.
Organized by Cheryl Curran, Grannies à Gogo: the Vernon – South Africa Connection will sponsor A Day of Crafts Workshops on Oct. 1 at Desert Cove Estates. Both men and women are welcome.
Local photographer Tom Skinner, the honorary mkhulu (Zulu for grandfather), will lead three sessions on making better use of your digital camera, and Cheryl Curran will teach the art of using a labyrinth. Other crafts include wreaths, pine cone trees, fall centre pieces, beeswax tapered candles, lavender sachets and pomanders. All materials will be supplied, thanks to generous donations from community members.
