This event has been running for some 12 years and is very popular with locals and some not so locals. Gardens and studios were thrown open to the public, many of whom stoically went round all the venues, often with children in tow. This year there were invitingly beautiful lawns, trees, plants and ornaments and, in the studios, paintings, prints, ceramics, glass, furniture and textiles.
I shared an airy garage with the talented printmaker, Ruth Kitching, and our work complemented each other well. I showed some framed work as well as quilts, textile bowls and fabric covered notebooks.
We had well over 100 visitors in the five hours we were open and it was a real pleasure explaining my creative processes to the curious. Although it was chilly, the rain held off for the entire day and for the closing party in the Tea Garden.
This was my first participation in the event and I was made to feel very welcome - it was just lovely.
Here are three examples of hexagonal bowls - I loved making them. I also showed square and round bowls, all very popular.
