So, PAW returned to its half term / week after setting as we had in 2017, 2018 and 2019 when I was based at Hillview for my Open Studio only. For the second event in a row I paid to be exhibited in Rollington as well as have my Open studio for visitors. The event …
Today the shop was back open and I worked on some ideas using coloured paper as backgrounds. Drawing in fineliner, gelly roll white and Posca pens. It was nice just to try an idea and see some positive opportunities going forwards.
