The studios don’t run themselves and it has taken time to catch up on admin and meetings etc. The website is looking pretty though, with colourful jpegs from Sheila and Sarah who have forthcoming shows at the Tarpey and Mostyn Open. www.harringtonmillstudios.co.ukWe are also preparing for Chicago to come to us in October, the Go/c/Art Gallery show in June and our exhibition to Gotland, Sweden in August. A few of us will be going to Visby to install the show and attend the pv.

It is worth mentioning Lincoln Park zoo which is free to the public. We went on a cold, grey day during school hours when visitors were easily outnumbered by animals. In the summer I expect it is a different story. http://www.lpzoo.org/
