Challenge Rules and guidelines
The group is notified when a new challenge is due to start.
Our challenges are different to most, in that a new one will start when available but all have an open finish date.
When we are ready to exhibit you will be given a deadline for outstanding challenges to finish if you wish to exhibit.
The challenge will close when the number of participant spaces are filled. Each challenge has different spaces available based on the pattern or supplies or what will look good when exhibited.
You can join any challenge, while it is open at any time.
There is a nominal cost to cover provisions and notes
You will be given full instructions for each challenge and we run challenge day's so you can get together and make your art with others.
Each challenge is different but most will have a few rules which you must follow then the rest is up to you.
Each challenge uses at least 1 commonality eg fabric, shape, colour etc.
