| Esther Rantzen Observing the Papercutting Workshop |
She came to officially open the new Education & Community Suite on the second floor (Leckford Art Studio and Longstock Meeting Room) partly funded by the generous donation of £10,000 from Waitrose Community Matters Fund.The spaces are already getting some great use by various groups and of course own Spring programme of art and craft workshops are happening now through until June.
A papercutting workshop was held in the Leckford Art Studio immediately after the opening ceremony by Esther Rantzen. A total of 11 teenagers, including some from Romsey Young Carers, produced some superb papercut Mothers' Day cards and decorations under the tutorage of Kat Hansford.
Esther was presented with fresh flowers and stayed all morning. She enjoyed tea and toasted teacakes and a chat in Rum's Cafe and we sent her off with gluten free cake samples for her daughter, plus three pieces of artwork she bought in gallery. She wrote in our visitors book:
Congratulations! What an asset for Romsey to have this fabulous art and education community centre! I'll be back!
