I went with a friend to the Silverdale and Arnside Art and Craft Trail on Sunday. It was a lovely day and many of the studios had fabulous views of the sea. I would love to take part in it but unfortunately it is only for people who live in the immediate area. I bought a box box made out of pear wood to keep my pen nibs in and had a go at carving Portland stone.
I’m now getting my studio ready for a group who are visiting from The Friends of the Whitworth on Thursday. They are visiting Abbot Hall Gallery in Kendal in the morning then coming on to the mill for lunch and a look around. After that they’re going on to Leyton Hall. The exhibition at Abbot Hall is of artists in St. Ives in the 50’s so it will be a great exhibition and I must visit soon.
Here I am having a go at carving.
