Traditionally the August meeting of Chipperfield Evening W.I. is a social event. This year Richard and Lesley Edwards very kindly offered Burford House as a venue and members, husbands and friends enjoyed a salmon supper prepared by members.
On Wednesday 17 October, Dick Onians, a local sculptor with an international reputation, will be giving a talk to the Evening W.I. explaining how he develops ideas for his work and the methods and techniques he uses, including traditional carving styles. Dick�s talk will begin at 8.30pm in the Village Hall and visitors interested in wood carving, modelling and casting will be most welcome.
In 1991 Dick initiated Open Studios in Hertfordshire, a scheme which, once a year, enables members of the public to visit  artists in their studios  to see their work and talk to them about it. If you missed the chance to visit Dick in his studio in September, do come to his talk this month.
