Post Spring Fling

As the dust begins to settle and my energy levels start reaching near normal levels after the Spring Fling Open Studio event,I've been able to take stock of exciting developments that are beginning to come to fruition.

On October 26th  of this year ,an exhibition of my work will open in Crown Gallery in Carlisle.The show which will reflect my interest in Norse mythology is entitled 'Winter Nights' ,  an important date in the ancient Norse calendar. It marked the end of summer and the start of winter.Sacrifices were made as thanks for a successful growing season and protection against the harsh winter .People also took this time to celebrate their ancestors & the gods with songs,poems,feasting and drinking.  

Crown Gallery can be found at:
5 Lonsdale Street
Carlisle,Cumbria
CA1 1BJ

Tel.01228 595055 

Owned by Joe and Julie,it is a fantastic contemporary arts & crafts gallery in a lovely town building set in four rooms across two floors .You can check out their website as they have changing exhibitions and update the gallery regularly.....

It is all very exciting ....

In the meantime I finally managed to get out in the garden this evening.....

     

 With books and a cup of tea......

Spring finally had  a fling.......
