Counterfeit Conclusion

Happy 1st May! We’re here, spring is in full swing, and today is the last day of the Counterfeit art exhibition. I’ve had a wonderful time exhibiting with the Cynon Valley Museum, and as well as exhibiting my art-work I’ve run two workshops in lino printing. Reports were that everyone had a great time, and it was wonderful to see everyone’s creativity. I’m awaiting news on grants and funding…

Now refilling it with little copper cherubs, snowmen, trees,reindeer etc, as those little copper suncatchers I made last week have gone to the Cynon Valley Museum, and a local shop. I have none left for Christmas Markets. #smallbiz #fusedglass #treedecorations #christmasdecor #copper #stars #snowman #reindeer #cherubs #Cavetsy #eml2017 http://ift.tt/2A0sGiV

One Year On

  This time last year was my very first experience of being in an exhibition. In fact, my whole creative output last year was entirely due to Gayle Rogers and Chris Williams at the Workers Gallery! I’ve taken part in a further three exhibitions with the Workers Gallery in Ynyshir and one with the Cynon Valley Museum in Aberdare.  Once again, I’m thrilled to be showing four new designs in this…
