    Pictures & Panels – New Class!

    Hi all

    … and Happy New Year!  I don’t make resolutions anymore but I will try and keep the blog a bit more up-to-date in 2016.

    This year will see a wider range of fusing classes on offer; extra dates, more techniques, some intermediate level classes.  I also plan to offer an evening class, although the studio requires  a bit more work to accommodate the needs of an ongoing group.

    So to kick of 2016 classes, I have a new one; Pictures & Panels.  This will still be a full day workshop, suitable for starters although previous students would enjoy this class too.  During the workshop, we will focus more on techniques more suited to panels – ones that create texture through a variety of methods.

    The first provisional date is Saturday 20th February 2016.  You can contact me via the GET IN TOUCH page here if you’d like to book a place or redeem a voucher that you have.

    If you can’t do this date, please let me know, as I am expecting a lot of interest will look at offering other days, possibly Sunday 21st February, or the following Saturday 27th (and more if necessary

    ‘Tis the Season….

    Well, I’ve not posted for quite a while!  Mainly because I’ve been busy making – Christmas decorations, seasonal panels, playing with sand-blasters and generally enjoying myself in the workshop.

    I’ve also done a few selling events, more than normal for me, and a couple of fusing workshops down at Shed 2.  So for now, I haven’t got a lot to tell you, but lots and lots to show you, so this is going to be a nice, picture heavy post – lots of pretty images to look at – and some of the items are still available (mostly listed on my Facebook page) so get in touch if you’re interested in something.

    I doubt I will be posting before the big day, as I have been so busy making for other people to be able to buy gifts, I haven’t thought about *my* Christmas yet!  So I’ll finish by wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    Upcoming Events

    There are two events coming up, quite soon!

    This Sunday, I will be at the Brinsley Winter Art and Flower Festival – a small, but perfectly formed event, surprisingly enough being held in Brinsley!  If you don’t know, it’s a village close to Eastwood, the historic home of D H Lawrence.

    The event is being hosted at The Moor Cottages, 34 & 36 Moor Road, Brinsley, NG16 5AZ  and I was pleased and honoured to be invited to take part.
