Under construction
Being honest apart from blogging the Store aspect of this site has yet to be developed. It will be happening during 2018 alongside the development of an AndyKnillArt Etsy store which is now open.
Bay H
I am now the proud tenant of Bay H as I wrote about in my last post. Snow delayed my moving in but on Monday March 5 I arrived with a range of cards, prints and originals” pieces to start my time as a member of Purbeck artisan Yard. Moving into a space was good …
A new venture …
