Month of May

It has been nearly a month since I plonked my feet firmly here in Southern France. It has been a month of strong sun, the windiest wind you could imagine and boughts of rain that have sent our tent floating.
Creating has been limited to a bonsai style of pruning for our grape vines and not much else.
The summerschools at The University College Falmouth are in the offing with spaces still available for those who wish to learn to printed textiles. A fantastic, fast paced and fun filled introduction to printed textile design, great if it is something you fancy trying before embarking further in your own studio practice, or for those looking at a university level course of study.. and finally for this month, yesturday saw my introduction to the wonderful lady Jane Hendriques, who lives down the road from me and is going to very kindly introduce me to the small world of printmaking here. We ate a wonderful lunch in her garden that overlooks the building where Picasso and Bracque developed their ideas regarding cubism, and then on to the lake for a quick dip. She already feels like a long time friend and I think there are a whole host of possible furutre collaborations that may be in the offing..
It has been a busy month, I am content.
Update to follow summerschools...

Ready ..Set ..Go........

It has all been a bit slow and steady here for the past few months...too much work to think about much else and no time to be making, throw in a house move and now a country move and it doesn't make for a very creative environment..

I have got some work back at South West Crafts and a small selection at my shop on Etsy..

Back to living at my mums temporarily, while our new/very old landrover is repaired by Chris, and we'll be off, to start fresh in Sunny Southern France...I say sunny, but didn't quite realise how cold it gets there in Winter!!...It will hopefully be sunny by the time we arrive...
