The Project - Teapots
Like our past projects (puzzle piece, denim pocket) we ask that you create something featuring teapots. It may be a placemat, or a teapot shape, and anything in between. The maximum size is 40cm x 30cm. Deliver to Members’ meetings, so don’t forget to put your name on the back, so that we can return them to you.
