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...
