Parchment Craft Guild Committee

The Parchment Craft Guild Committee Members
Alison Yeates, Chairman alison@parchmentcraftguild.co.uk	Alison has been teaching parchment craft in the Dorset and West Hampshire areas for fifteen years.
Gail Sydenham, Vice-Chairman gail@parchmentcraftguild.co.uk
Jo Whight, PR Secretary jo@parchmentcraftguild.co.uk	Jo lives near Ipswich in rural Suffolk with her husband and 14 year-old daughter and works as a nurse in general practice. She is studying for a degree in her spare time and also teaches parchment craft classes, one to one, and some by correspondence. Jo is heavily involved in one of the online parchment groups, which she is very passionate about as it aims to promote not only parchment but friendship, tolerance and understanding across geographical and cultural boundaries. Jo joined the Guild in 2001/2002 after her husband took her to a Guild exhibition in Birmingham. This was the first time she had seen really good parchment work and learned so much in a couple of hours of just walking around watching and looking at the work of some of the Fellows of the Guild. Their work has always inspired her, specially painting on parchment, which Jo still finds the most relaxing aspect of parchment. Jo left the exhibition with her first set of exam papers under her arm. In 2005 Jo became a registered tutor with Pergamano and passed her Guild Fellow exam in 2009. I am looking forward to working with the Guild in promoting the craft and forging new friendships across the UK.
