Tomorrow is the last day of the 2021/2022 tax year and sales of art are up again for yet again another more successful year – thanks to all those who have bought items from me. Art for fun has now gone just over 270 participants in 7 months. Purbeck Art Weeks brochures are now in …
So I am open this week and next as normal on Tue, Wed, Fri and Sat subject to health being ok – I am better than I was last week on holiday and covid tests still negative. The final week of the month May need some changes which will be determined by energy levels in …
So the first linocut product for 2022 – ‘Kayaker’ as a greetings card. I have made the decision that I will hand print at the studio all pieces I produce this year and that each design will be produced as a limited edition. The first card (above) is a series of 100 and the first …
