Apologies to everyone following my blog of late as you’ve probably guessed, I've been incredibly busy over the Christmas period and have not had a chance to keep you updated! However, the rush is now over and I've got a bit more time to catch up on other things.

With Christmas only three weeks away, things are getting a lot more hectic in the workshop! Not only am I gradually working through my orders and commissions, but I’m getting ready for my next exhibition.

For the whole of August, I will be displaying a selection of my work at Lanercost Priory near Brampton. Founded in 1169, the priory is only a short distance from Hadrians Wall and set in beautiful rural surroundings.

For the first two weeks in September, I will be opening my doors to the public and holding my very first open studio! You will be able to see me busy in the workshop, examine my latest work and enjoy some home made refreshments in a very relaxing environment!

It's not often I get a chance to go to a festival these days. A good few years ago, I was a regular trader at local events such as Solfest and enjoyed all the activities and fun!

Shops and businesses in my local town display the work of internalionaly-acclaimed and local artists.
