Well sorry its been a while I am trying to get my work done, commissions quoted for and workshops planned and I am getting all in a muddle! So I thought I would write it down so we all know what's happening.....
So this weekend....
Saturday 9th November I will be working in Garstang with Creative Threads on a workshop to create embellishments with a textile group.
There are two places left if you are interested see link below
But
please go and say hello he likes to chat and maybe buy a little
something to make his day. He will be very upset if he doesn't sell
something...
a snowflake maybe???
Then Sunday I am helping a friend, Priscilla Jones at The Art Market in Holmfirth and hopefully drumming up some custom for our joint workshops next year. Wait, I am being distracted lets get back to this year and the run up to that dreaded word C********!
Now next week I am in Cop Lane Primary School creating an Ark.
I know, I know I am just encouraging this weather but it's set to snow apparently this weekend! eek!
Pics to follow I am actually quite excited to be honest but back to the programme.
The exhibition at the Cross Gaits Inn, Blacko
will be changing for the last week of November and we are taking the party up for a mini private view after the Friday night Christmas Opening.
The lovely cows will be coming down though 3 of them have found new homes and I am not sure what will replace them for my contribution to the mill collective exhibition, stags or foxes hmmmmm......

Then we will just be putting final touches in place for our
annual Christmas opening at the Mill posters.
We will be opening on Friday 6th December from 6.30-8.30pm for minced pies and mulled wine and general Christmas cheer
and again on the Saturday for left overs! 10am-4pm for those not brave enough to experience the cold dark mill at night!
We should have guest artists too and music and fancy dress and cake lets not forget the cake!
On the Sunday 8th though I will be here in Chester for Christmas shopping erm I mean smiling sweetly and erm look I am on the flyer and everything...... :-)
Then from the Monday 9th December onwards I will be selling my wares all week till Sunday 15th with the lovely Anita Burrows and Priscilla Jones at the
Platform Gallery in Clitheroe in the education room with a couple of demonstrations thrown in!
Nowt like two really really busy weekends is there. A bit like buses so to speak! But hopefully I will get to say hi to everyone who comes along and maybe if you are interested sign up for some porcelain workshops next year?
And long with all that this week I am sending work to galleries too and am packing up new work for an exhibition at
and new hares and the goalpost moving badgers will be in Colne at
for their Christmas exhibition
and work is already on display at
and also at
phew I think that's it for now. I will update you all on the Beginners Porcelain Workshops with pics on another blog as it seems to be going swimmingly and they all seem to be enjoying themselves we even didn't eat the cake on our first week we were all to absorbed. I know unthinkable!
and a quote from one of my lovely students on facebook.
To
anyone considering this, it is a fantastic workshop/course. By the end
of the first session we had all produced a lovely piece of work and
after 3 sessions, we were throwing pots on the Potters wheel. Highly
recommended.
Places still available for January.
Phew and so to bed!
