Colour and glass are on the agenda for this Thursday night. Please bring paints or watercolour pencils if you have them. Brushes and small pots for water. Scissors, paper glue, magazines, glass of different types that the group could have small samples of and something to put your samples in!
Oh yes and bring your ideas for a theme to work on and any research you have done on your chosen theme. If this is as clear as mud then don't panic I'll explain in class.
Come in humming or singing a tune and I'll try to guess it. Not too obscure a tune please!

Resources for this week
Hi, better late than never?
if you missed last week you will need to bring sharp craft knife/scissors, 4" square of cathedral glass and any kiln paper that you might have lurking at home. Gloves if you have sensitive skin.
For this week as we are doing etching you will need, sticky back plastic, electrical tape, wood glue if you have it, tracing paper, A3 book, pencil, research material, waterproof gloves, apron and a big smile!
See you later.

October update
Devon open studio has been and gone. The hours were long this time and I was open for 15 of the 16 days, what was I thinking??? Met some super people and caught up with lots of friends so that is really positive.
Last Friday hung my exhibtion at the Framing Lot in Dawlish. It will be there for the whole month of October.
My 20 week improver's class has just started and the energy of the group means it should be another super course.
Resources reminder for this coming Thursday- sharp craft knife, scissors, pencil, rubber, tracing paper, A3 book, glass cutting tools, gloves if your hands are sensitive, fibre (shelf) paper if you have any and pieces of cathedral glass no more than 4" sq.

August update
Hello again,
had a good time at both Exeter Craft Fair and the Devon Wildlife Trust event. Even managed to assemble and take down the gazebo in record time and without any fatalities! Not bad for a newly initiated gazebo owner!
Coming on to the event schedule is Devon Open Studios. From the 5th - 20th Sept (excluding 6th) I shall be in the studio from 11am - 6pm. I enjoy these events as I get to meet and talk with all sorts of new folk. If it is quiet then I am able to get creating. I do get rather tired and need red wine to recover but hey ho that's not a bad thing. Maybe see you there this year?

Cathedral Green in Exeter
It has been an age since I last blogged but my studio has been a hive of activity.
This weekend (12th and 13th June) I have been on the Cathedral Green in Exeter showing my wares as part of Exeter Craft Fair. Today was lovely and sunny and the Green was full with people enjoying the craft fair and the entertainment.
Next weekend I am back on the Green again as part of Devon Wildlife Trust Festival. I haven't done this before and am a little nervous as I have to take my own gazebo and tables and all the equipment that is usually magically there for you to use. If you are in the area please stop by and say hi.

March news
This photo was taken of the group and myself at the end of an improvers course in the studio. Each Monday night this group has assembled for laughter, fun, and even some stained glass! For 20 weeks this lovely gaggle of people has lifted my spirits and challenged my grey matter. Well done to all of you and can't wait to see some of your work exhibited in the studio in September.

February nearly over
I don't know about you but I can't wait for March. In the studio the sight of snow falling was fun first time and I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed snowball fighting but what about the other awful weather that has come our way! Yuk! Roll on March. Anyway that is enough Winter moaning. Happy spring thoughts to you.
