Artworks 2: A Great Success
Tuesday, 15 November 2011
A creative event, with artists from four synagogues, attracted more than 200 people and is expected to raise about £1,000 for charity.
Artworks 2, an arts and crafts exhibition, with work for sale, was held for the second year running at Middlesex New Synagogue, Bessborough Road, Harrow.
On Sunday 13th November, artists including painter Des Rayner, husband of the late agony aunt, Claire Rayner, displayed sculpture, hand-painted silk, photographs, textiles, ceramics and jewellery and will be giving 20 per cent of their proceeds to synagogue funds and the Teenage Cancer Trust.
All the proceeds from the refreshments, which included bagels and Belgian waffles, and entrance fee takings will go to the two charities.
One of the organisers, former chairman, Jane Prentice said: "This was a very successful event, not only demonstrating what talented people we have, but because we raised so much money for charity. The hall was really buzzing. We also could not have done it without the amazing help of everyone in the cafe and behind the scenes and we would like to thank everyone for their sterling efforts."
