The WI branch is marking its 80th birthday with a two-day exhibition.
Paula Hessian will teach the art of silk painting and Jan Ricketts the techniques of embossing parchment paper.
The exhibition, at the village hall on July 5 and 6, will include historical memorabilia collected by Mrs Hessian.
One of the organisers, Margaret Fissenden, said: "We wanted to show in the exhibition how Weston-on-the-Green WI has played its part in village life.
"We also hope people will appreciate a WI is not all jam making and singing Jerusalem."
