welcome to my studio, all ready for the first day of Norfolk Open Studios 2014 tomorrow. This is the first time I’ve opened up this new-ish studio of mine and I’m looking forward to sharing it with friends and visitors.

Hope they can get up the steep stairs!

I’m open for this long Bank holiday weekend and then the weekend of 7 and 8 June (the last day of Open Studios). There aren’t many others open close by, so I’m hoping that the many visitors to the popular Castle Acre Open Studio Trail 8 miles to the south, will venture my way too.

Will let you know how it goes.

Good luck to all other artists holding their own open studios at this time.

Friday evening was the Opening Night of my solo exhibition Beyond the Surface, at Greyfriars Art Space in King’s Lynn. Over 30 people turned up over the two hours, from the collectors to the curious, and there was a good buzz about the place. It was a pleasure to meet and chat with so many enthusiastic, interesting people.

The photographer from the Lynn News came just before the event, so there should be something in this coming Friday’s edition.

Over 30 people on the night


The ceramics are by Dameon Lynn, I love the textures and the way they complement my work. See more of Dameon’s work here.

The gallery is a great space to exhibit, bright and spacious, and can be hired by the week by artists and craftspeople wanting to hold a show. For details contact Greyfriars Art Space at http://www.greyfriarsartspace.co.uk
