Working hard for Pattchings Art Festival....9th, 10th, 11th & 12th June.  New pics will follow shortly.  I have made some free formed slumped glass fruit bowls, all a bit experimental but great fun to make.  The first one I showed was bought within an hour, that is promising!!

Events for march, April and May

Sunday in Ironbridge was wonderfully sunny and, despite being a Farmers Market, I met many existing customers, and met lots of new ones.  There was only three Art/Craft stalls amongst the Cooks and Farmers but it was a great day out and a chance to meet a whole new customer base!

On Sunday March 27th  I shall be at the Sylvestor Horne Institute with a co-operative of local artists, this is a new venture so come along and support us in the beautifull town of Church Stretton under the Longmynd.

April 2nd sees the first Made in Shropshire event in Ludlow, on the market square. April 9th will be  the regular Fair in the Square with Made in Shropshire in Shrewsbury.

April 16 is the first Arts and Crafts market on the Parade in Cheltenham

Freezing Craft Events

Well, what can one say about this December weather?  Thank you for all of you who braved the ice and snow and collected orders from Cheltenham Arts and Crafts market.  Most of these orders were unpaid for so thanks very much for making the effort, I really appreciate it.

January is set aside to keep the tax man happy and do a bit of Research and Develpment, so watch this space, as they say, for new ideas for 2011.

Thanks again for your support in 2010 and best wishes for 2011.
