We’ve got one more space on our May 16-21 painting holiday, and if that’s too soon we have more holidays planned for the autumn. 26 Sept -1 Oct and 17-22 Oct. Come and join us. See for dates and details. @tangierpaintingholiday@gavin1966

@joanhecktermann has the keenest eye for design and will be bringing cool towels, hot from the Casbah along with other treasures that you’ll definitely need!
@kirstenhecktermann still has a velvet trail to follow. Be quick to snap up the remaining dusty colours made up especially for this sale from her last stocks of hand dyed fabric, along with one off antique cushions She will also be bringing her gentle, distinctive eye to a new collection of jewels from her new selection @ataleofbeads@manyhandssale

My Geranium cutting painting sitting quietly in its new home surrounded by a magnificent cast of @mirella_ricciardi_archive photgraphs. Thank you Amina for buying it and for a wonderful afternoon spent leafing through Mirella’s astonishing archive of photographs, both poignant and celebratory. DM @amina_ricciardi_dempsey to go and see this astonishing archive.
