Eilidh's Home Made Evening!

For our context this semester we have to arrange an event that is going to help to inform our practical work.

My very lovely pal Eilidh hosted an evening of tea, cake, chatting and mug painting at 'Fingers and Thumbs' in North Berwick. This research event is going to help her to create a series of illustrations inspired by the word 'home'. She is planning to include illustrated recipes, patterns, drawings of objects that are special in our homes and images from stories we love to read.

It was a great evening of drawing and eating... two of my very favourite hobbies.

I'll be posting about my own event soon, so watch this space.

Craft Fair - Arts Centre Washington

This weekend I had my very first stall at the monthly Craft Fair at the Arts Centre Washington. This venue is perfectly positioned in the middle of Newcastle, Sunderland and Durham. The fair itself, hosts a variety of stalls from talented local and regional artists and crafts people. It is held on the first Saturday of every month.

This was a great fair to be apart of and an interesting way for me to test my work in public. I met some very talented artists and some very lovely customers. I have posted a couple of photos of my stall to share with you.

I will be at the next two fairs leading up to Christmas, so if you are in the local area, please pop in and say hello. There will be a great variety of exciting gifts, to suit every member of your family!

Next two dates:
3rd November 2012  10am - 3.30pm
1st December 2012   10am - 3.30pm (Christmas Craft Fair)

Hope to see you there! x
