Anne Newbon was teaching ‘little ones’ at primary level that obviously involved art and craft and included running a needlework club after school. Crafting has been in Anne’s life forever, but she has specialised in textile art for over 20 years joining Craft in Action some years ago with her first being in Moreton in Marsh, and as they say she hasn’t looked back. Anne can frequently be heard at craft fairs as she comes complete with sewing machine. Her work includes pictures, dishes, bowls, book covers and scarves all made by her at her dining table “well all over the house actually”. Some of her items are made from silk fibre that required ‘wetting’ and drying over yogurt pots to form the required shape she wants. Anne belongs to Pershore Embroideries & Textile Artists and a group known as ‘Threads’ in Worcester where she meets and shares tips and ideas with other like minded people. Always keen to impart knowledge and encouragement she works with the Eckington Guide Group here she has been known to be seen in a howling gale outside trying to make wet felt!
