I’m very excited now. Art Weeks is just around the corner and I’ve been working hard to get ready. The gazebo is up (having survived yesterday’s wind and rain) and filled with my glass goodies. We also have an exhibition in our conservatory which is looking very colourful. My studio is set up for me to demonstrate lampwork glass bead making along with an exhibition of the type of pieces that can be made by coming on one of my taster workshops. I aim to inspire. I’ve also been baking so there’s homemade shortbread, flapjack and lemon drizzle cake to enjoy.

I’d like to thank my helpers in advance for making tea, welcoming visitors, keeping me company in quiet times and just being around.
Here’s to all the other 469 artists involved in the largest county wide art exhibition and to all who visit.
