Another deadline approaches, and I am excited about this one as it is the opening of DOT’s first ever exhibition of work.

Well that last post tickled a few folk, I feel as though I am in good company knowing that so many of you have similarly untidy work spaces, and yes, I know I am lucky to have such a great space to work in. However, I had better make the most of it as we have [...]

I seem to be always apologising: Once again the apology is for severe lack of posts over the last few weeks, and of course the usual excuse still applies -I have been very very busy recently. However, I do want to tell you that the Oooze and Aahhs class I ran at Husqvarna in Nottingham at the end of [...]
