I've joined an art co-op


I've joined the Artists' co-op in Wolverhampton - Bootstrap Artisans.   The previously empty shop in the Mander Centre in central Wolverhampton is now full of art and craft items.   Members take turns to staff the shop on the rota and it's open on Sundays as well now.   I was on the rota yesterday and there was a steady stream of people coming into the shop.   It was great to hear all the positive comments and deal with the sales under the guidance of an experienced member - Driftwood Mick, who makes driftwood sculptures.  As we near Christmas it's getting busier and busier.



A couple of my Christmas cards!

Walsall Leather Museum - etching of Keith Bryan's Saddlery



Sketching at Keith Bryan's Saddlery in Walsall led to my creating an etching of the workshop interior. It was an amazing, traditional workshop in an early Victorian building.  There was a real sense of history as well as intense activity as leather was cut, stitched and shaped into beautiful, gleaming saddles.  A fascinating place to visit and I fel that the traditional etching process complimented the activity well.
