Setting up 18 studios, Long Eaton, Nottingham

Feedback from the sponsors re. the open studios : great night, a real buzz. But Friday PVs are difficult as the roads are jammed, people still in suits and folks are exhausted. Art was great, food was marvellous and wine was good. But Saturday would be even better! Tracey Eastham and Hayley Lock’s show drew a great reception too with interesting comments about the richness, humour, context and wit. … the other good thing about open studio events is catching up with other artists and lecturers. A couple of painters (who I respect but don’t really know )passed on some positive comments about my work – which makes me smile.
