Needle Felting Demo Day at Vitreus Art!

It was another rainy bank holiday - the perfect weather to visit the Demo Day held at Vitreus Art, Wakefield County Courtyard, Potterspury. 

Visitors could see a wide variety of arts and crafts displayed in the gallery, from stained glass to sculpture making. I was demonstrating needle felting techniques and enjoyed discussing this beautiful craft with gallery visitors.

Course fee includes a starter needle felting kit!

Fanfare Exhibition Launch - with... a real fanfare!

Today I attended the official launch of the The Bucks Open Studios Fanfare Exhibition in Aylesbury, opened by the High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire, Francesca Skelton.

A superb display of prints, paintings, ceramics, sculpture and jewellery by over 130 artists and makers taking part in the Bucks Open Studios event this coming June.

A real trumpet fanfare and string quartet performed at the event.
