Countdown..........

.....to my exhibition at Malt Bar, Automatic Restaurant, Bury ...........hanging Monday 13th ...

Eeeeek!   The endless list of things to do is down to manageable fiddly things now, like - don't forget the mirror plates :) .  Its going to be a busy day Monday.....hanging my work, The Book Project Meeting and Bury Collective Monthly Meeting.

Bury Collective is a group of artists that meet on the first Monday of each month at Malt Bar, to support, share and enjoy the inspiring company of other artists that work in Bury and surrounding towns.  We have recently all come together to work on a project in which we each make a book.  These are then passed around and each artist adds a piece of work, poem or whatever.  It can exist alone or in response to the previous work added...until each artist has made their 'mark' in each others book.  Eventually they will all be exhibited sometime in the future.  To this end we had an incredibly inspiring Workshop in Bury Archives, which is a wonderful resource...full of treasures.  And, this afternoon a few of us met to use some beautiful printing blocks once used by cloth manufacturers.  They are beautifully crafted works of art in themselves.  It was a lovely afternoon sitting around Diane's kitchen table, printing, talking, drinking tea and eating biscuits..........a welcome relief from the stresses of building up to an exhibition........x
