This so called summer continues but we aren't having the deluges like 'up North'.
Kara's exams have finished now and it's prom tonight...I hope they all behave!
I am on taxi duty so will be exhausted....
I'm still busy with orders whilst looking forward to a short break on a buying trip to Brighton - I feel under pressure...
I went to Bovey Tracey Contemorary Craft Fair and found lovely work by Carys Davies and Jane Booth, both ceramicists with widely differing styles but both perfect for the gallery. I also stocked up on Helaina Sharpley's marvellous wire mugs and cups. It was muddy and humid but worth the effort. The only criticism I would have of the show is that some exhibitors need to be changed around - too much of the same from the previous 4 years!
I am delighted with the way the gallery is looking. I've just had some fab copper jewellery delivered by Janet Midwinter a very clever jeweller from Sennen, and some great bronze resin ducks by Martin Norman - they are taking full advantage of the weather.
I am expecting some really lovely prints in from Pendeen artist Evie Groves tomorrow - she has a wonderful approach to the landscape with a crisp, clean and contemporary style developed from her time as an illustrator.
All work will be shown on the website shortly.
I am longing to get some head space to develop my new ideas - ceramic and otherwise. Might be September before all is revealed.
