I had fun joining an amazing group of graffiti artists over a weekend. I painted frogs on skateboards in the Frog and Fiddle pup, and pigs in a rocket inside the Two Pigs pub.
RWS Open 2024
Formerly known as the Contemporary Watercolour Competition (among many other names during the exhibition's 50+ year history), the RWS Open is the largest open-submission water-media exhibition in the world, attracting thousands of submissions nationally and internationally each year. This year I entered one of my watercolours, which was accepted, so very chuffed.
The Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen
I've recently been accepted as a member of The Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen. I was a member in the early 1990's but left when I moved away, so It's really lovely to be a member again. They have a lovely shop in Montpellier Cheltenham, if you fancy visiting.
