Aberdeen

Hi all,
Hello to everyone attending the Country Love Crafts Sale & Unveil day yesterday, I hope your journey home was less stressful than your journey in the morning!
Here are some of the impressionistic pears painted on 6" x 6" earthenware tiles, they were completed in the morning workshop using Duncan Concepts under-glazes and now ready for firing.

I was going to be demonstrating at Paperarts in Gloucester this coming Saturday but just to let you know the date has changed and has now been moved forwards to November 12th.
I can also announce that myself and Lindsay Mason will both be at The Papeterie in Aberdeen during the weekend of November 26th and 27th, we will be demonstrating and also running workshops. I cant wait to meet up and work with Lindsay again, she looks after me and keeps me out of trouble!
Ermmm I have just spent the day filming videos for the ermmm online workshop, I'm so desperately trying to stop myself from saying ermmm while giving instructions! It's so much  easier having a ermmm soundtrack with text instructions but unfortunately ermmm that will not suffice for this!
Ermmm

Open Day June 2011

Hi all,
it's been such a busy mad week since returning from the Craft Barn Extravaganza.  I have been preparing for the Country Love Crafts Sale & Unveil Open Day being held tomorrow. There has been so much I have wanted to do this week, videos to make,  blogs to visit and messages to write but it's been impossible, so apologies to anyone that is awaiting a reply, I have answered all the urgent ones and I will get around to the rest sometime this week, saying that I fly out to Scotland first thing Tuesday morning to run some bespoke workshops in Edinburgh for a couple of days but I am hoping the hotel will have an internet connection so I can get stuff done in the evenings..

I am going to be running two Ceramic workshops along with two demo's during tomorrows event, here is a sneak peak at a couple of them…Ohhh exciting!!



Not much else to report today except I gave Sally a new coat!   For those of you who have no idea who sally is, she is a mixed media Salamander, a project I took on to show at Stitches trade show this year.
I gave her a nice shiny coat with one of the new products being shown tomorrow. I will reveal all after Monday!
Here she is, I have placed a 10 pence piece next to her foot so you can get an idea of her size.



Right I better get back to it,

Take care,

Andy
