Again … as usual … sooo much has happened in the past couple of weeks and I havent been blogging – but seeing as I now know where my Degree Show piece will be going – and after the Easter […]

More recent designs and Ideas…. A few new designs that I have currently been making for my piece – I am slowly starting to get the many ideas I have out of my head and onto paper (at the moment) […]

Today felt special for several reasons. It has been my last day carving grain in the Grain Warehouse although tomorrow it will still be open during workshops. A woman called Vicky came and she absolutely loved the work and made […]
Workshops today went really well. The children were between four and eleven and their parents enjoyed soap carving as much as themselves. I need some more tools for tomorrow, they were just enough but better to have more. The ones […]
