Following an astonishingly successful Open Studio event as part of Herefordshire Art Week (by special dispensation us near-border artists are sometimes allowed to join our English neighbours), we are opening again for one weekend before Christmas. Julienne and I have both been very busy on new work. She is now mounting, framing and hanging and, at the time of writing, I am firing a bisque kiln to be followed by a glaze firing in each of the kilns. It is going to be a tight schedule, particularly as I am also taking part in a group show at the Judge’s Lodging in Presteigne, 19th-21st and 26th-28th November. I believe I will be in the same atmospheric wine cellar at the Lodging as I was for last year’s show
