Today I went for a walk and then lunch at Studland Bay on the Purbeck Coast with Anne. We walked through the dunes, heathers and gorse and then returned along the beach to the National Trust Knoll beach cafe. This is often the place where I have left items of napkin art previously with most …
So, Artisans on the Beach has completed bar the wash up meeting on Thursday 10th, I need to make some notes to share what was involved and also aspects of the event to work on. One that has come up in discussion is the importance of clear communication during the event and the importance of …
Well a dry day forecast but light easterly wind. We had 11 hutters opened up during the day. People left at different times for their Christmas / family time. My day – I sold and put a Yr 3 Swanage Primary print in a frame with the addition of a St Andrews flag as part …
Yes, the sun shone, we had lots of visitors. Kelp the shantymen sang and Judith Opsblum was crowned Artisan of the Year 2018. Oh yes and I wore my art suit. So here are photos of the art pieces on my #handdrawnsuit. Starting with the back and the event itself and my timeline and roles …

Sunday had a dry morning but a wet afternoon. Monday was gloriously sunny and calm in the morning and cloudier in the afternoon. So the weather has not been particularly helpful at weekends so far. It has two chances to redeem itself. I used Sunday to sit outside in the mild morning air without lots …
So a forecast of less wind from se and temperature of 4 to 5C. In actual fact the wind dropped during the day, we were treated to several glimpses of blue sky and I was able to draw outside so better than expected and more afternoon customers as well with a number of card sales. …
