Today has been a whirlwind of: sorting; tidying; setting up; and pricing - all in preparation for the
601 mar studio-gallery open days on Easter Saturday and Sunday (10am-4pm each day).
At the end of the day we tired; but ready to welcome folk in the morning. There is a good range of work that indicates, in part, what we are on about art wise; and a good lot of bargains. And some folk might also like to take the opportunity to stamp some metal or print some cards on the letterpress.
Metal and hammers are ready on the workbench outside the studio-gallery.

Now it it is time to get dinner together; relax with a glass of wine; and have an early night.
Nice work.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt your open studio will be a great success; wonderful works all around. Letting people have some hands on experience is such a fine idea, connects them in a very good way.
ReplyDeleteWow-you two have been busy! Lovely new work beautifully displayed. Sounds like everyone is in for a wonderful time-enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week end Wish I was there.
ReplyDeleteLike Penny, I wish I was there too. Your studio and displays look fabulous and you have some really wonderful items for sale. Have a great weekend, Barry and Fiona!
ReplyDeleteHi R, M, AA, P & C - so good to have some support from afar. The two days of the open studio went well but it was an exhausting experience as usual - always quite a bit of energy expended in preparation; and then talking a starting with quite a few lovely folk over the couple of days. So it is joyful and art filled tiredness. And a bit sad that it is not possible;e distant and blog friends to drop in for a chat about art, peace, produce and life on the block. Thanks and go well. B
