Liz Cooksey was our final speaker of the 2014/15 season & one I had personally been waiting all year for. The evening did not disappoint. It all transpired following an art pop-up on a Facebook page & a few clicks later we couldn't believe Liz was so local to us ( small world!). Following her degree, Liz pursued a teaching career, but illness & a young family forced her to go part time, but she never lost her passion & is now creating more than ever. She gave us an insight into her inspiring artists eg Linda Miller, Janet Bolton, Alice Fox, Joseph Cornell. Her grid techniques initially using fence wire extend now to iron wire, to create form & the design flows from there incorporating papers, crochet & some stitch. All amazing & the evening ended with a real buzz.
