I had such fun today teaching single line still life to a new group in the wonderfully named Pudleston Village Hall over Leominster way. Can’t believe these guys were beginners at watercolour! Thanks so much for inviting me over, @zoejackson78 , @louisagregorynorton @franhayes007 @mattiajessicade and all, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you. A lovely drive home through the border countryside then an evening yomp up the hill. Golden hour light rounding off a perfect day. I’ll be running this workshop again on 21st May @midwalesarts 1-4pm £40.00 including materials To book, email [email protected]

Despite the keen breeze making the gazebos quake and the bunting shake we had a great day yesterday at Garnons Plant Fair. A few of us from @creativebreakshfds gathered for a day of demonstrating, meeting lovely people, plant buying and cake sampling. All equally enjoyable. A grand day out and hopefully lots of money raised for @thecartshedcharity .

Teaching stone carving is something I love doing, even though it’s a small part of my work. I love passing on skills and having my workshop full of chipping. Since I work a lot on my own, being part of @creativebreakshfds , which I joined a few years ago now, has linked me up with fellow makers and teachers to share, moan, laugh, collaborate, discuss course costings, improve our photography ( a bit ), they are a great bunch and tomorrow Wednesday 29th April we will be at our first 2026 outing at The Spring Fair at Garnons, Byford , Herefordshire raising money for the wonderful @thecartshedcharity …. We will be doing demonstrations and have a go sessions in Suminagashi @sarah_amatt , painting with @deblbunker , stained glass with Nicky Hopwood, rag rugging with @jenniragrugs , rush weaving with @phi.weaves and stone carving with myself ….. Come and find us tomorrow and say hello, it is open from 10.30 to 4 pm #courses #handson #herefordshire #creative
