Open Studio

Hurrah….my studio (no longer just a workshop) is now open to the public which sounds very grand but just means I have re0rganised the house so that all the glassy aspects of it are in one place, and can be kept separate when people come round to view or have a lesson.

I had an opening day on Sunday the 11th when all my friends, neighbours and customers were invited to join in a festival of glass, wine, tea and cake, starting with the grand unveiling of the new sign on the fence outside. A brilliantly sunny day really helped with the atmosphere and we had demonstrations and many sales. Lovely to see the enthusiasm that some of my previously uninitiated friends showed for the lampworking process.

I have now become a member of the Lincolnshire wide group of artists in various media called Art on the Map, which have open studio events at various times of the year, and my studio will be open the rest of the time to visitors by appointment, people just need to ring 01507 463468 to make sure we are there.

Here are some pictures of the new setup:
