The Beetroot Tree

I must officially promote my next exhibition as the featured artist at the Beetroot Tree Gallery in Derbyshire which starts on the 8th of January. I am taking my work up on Friday and it will be exciting to see the gallery as I haven't been there before and they are very supportive of Applied Art and Designer Craft.

2011

It's now officially 2011 and the end of the Pop up shop exhibition which I really enjoyed. I was due to collect my work during the Christmas snow which was really stressful as I didn't want to leave it in the shop over the Christmas holidays. Luckily as the snow slightly subsided I was able to meet Mike from the New Hope Trust and retrieve it all. So now Christmas is a fond memory and my children are safely back at school I am about to embark on a new piece of work, this I find the most difficult time choosing what picture out of the ones I have planned in my mind shall I do next. I can put it off no longer decisions have to be made!!!

Pop up shop

I'm off for a morning in the pop up shop there is no heating so I have plenty of layers on and have prepared to be cold, if you are passing by drop in Selena Francic Bryden is running workshops customising clothes and making accessories.

New work

I am half way through my latest piece of work and hadn't realised just how complicated I have made it. It certainly proving to be a challenge, but that is always a good thing. Here is a preview of work in progress.

Space2 pop up exhibition Watford

The opening of the pop up exhibition on Saturday went fantastically with lots and lots of visitors. The exhibition itself looked great as did the vintage shop being run by the New Hope Trust. There is an artist in residence who will be working in the gallery at times during the weeks to come and also an installation by the New Hope Trust profiling there work in helping the homeless in Watford. Come and visit if you are in Watford. I will be visiting the exhibition from time to time and will profile the other artists on my blog.
