Gerald held the firsy workshop last Sunday. Eco-Poetry, writing Haiku poems about the Butterfly Park.
We had 8 people booked in but only 4 turned up (2 of those were my kids) so not well attended at all.
No emails from the people who couldn’t make it either, we waited 20 minutes and left a note on the shop door directing them to the park in case someone turned up late but no…
I do worry that Free workshops mean people might not turn up. I think if people pay for workshops they obviously dont want to lose their money so will turn up, free…..not so important.
hmmm
However, it was a really good day, we had a fabulous guided walk by Laura followed by a working lunch writing and reading Haiku poetry, some realy good ones came out if it too.
We’ve arranged an official ribbon cutting opening for Friday. We have a VIP but can’t say who it is online…just hope the press believe that it is a real VIP and come any way.
My worry is that the Giant Spectacular is in Liverpool this weekend, the press and ALL of Merseyside (including me in the main) will be in Liverpool to watch it. What happens if no-one comes Friday ….eek!
Cant worry…bubbly bought, cakes ordered, banner en-route.
I’ve asked some of the other artists to come along too. Julie + Pam are bringing some of their residency related work along so we look more gallery like and less shop like for the day too.
Gerald’s work has been mainly performance/video related and we hope to have his edit on the day but I thought it would be a good opportunity to show what’s to come as well.
Looking forward to it, with wobbly legs.
