You may wonder why there is a calendar on my blog but no specific entries. I discovered yesterday that it is possible to set up a calendar of events and such like in Google Calendar which I attempted to add as a gadget on my blog.
For some reason at the moment I can't get the calendar with the events on it to load up. Watch this space as I will definitely be spending some time trying to figure this out. It will save me a great deal of time and energy and avoid duplication if I can get this up an running not just on my blog but in all or most other spheres of communication.

All Change
I finally got back into the studio yesterday although in the end I allowed myself too many distractions to get a huge amount of work done checking out the recent changes with existing artists moving around to bigger studios and a new tenant moving in to the vacated attic studios.
The biggest pleasure was opening the door to the adjoining studio to ours (access to ours is through this one). Melanie Hopwood - ceramicist has moved from a smaller studio at The Hearth, (in the manse) to become our next door neighbour in the Garden studio (at the end of the church hall).
Oh to enter a studio that is so clean, so tidy, where you can actually see the floor; her work is beautifully set out so you can see it clearly and want to buy it immediately. All her tools of trade, clay, glazes, etc stored neatly under the work benches, an absolute pleasure to walk into. I couldn't believe it was the same room - the space, the room to move.
And Mandy Pattullo, our guest tutor, has moved in to the manse part of The Hearth. She now occupied the top attic studios. I'm planning to sign up for one of her textile courses and her unusual papers course. I can't wait. I'll post photos next time.

All quiet on the Western Front
This has been an uneventful week with my not getting to the studio at all. Instead my son had to go into hospital for an operation on Monday - a relatively minor procedure - a skin graft - but very painful and requiring several days in hospital whilst the initial healing took place. Consequently I found myself staying in hospital with him until Thursday - Chris took over until Friday so no work done this week.
