I’ve just delivered my paintings to the Well Café in Exeter and it will be great to see them all on the gallery wall together.

I hate throwing things in the bin and if they can’t be put in the recycling I try to find alternative uses. You may have read my previous crafts post about making a candle holder out of old cloudy glasses. These can’t be put in the bottle bank due to chemicals used in production. My …
I’ve just had a lovely short break at The Manor House Arts, Crafts and Sports Hotel near Okehampton in Devon. It is a great place to experiment and have a go at new crafts or sport with tuition provided, without worrying if you’re going to be any good. In fact it’s where I did glass …
