Record Breaking Open Day! September 2026

 

I was open:

Saturday 12th September 2026 (10-4)

Tuesday 15th September 2026 (10-4)

Wednesday 16th September 2026 (10-4)

Thursday 17th September 2026 (10-4)

I was open for 3 extra days than usual, as I opened my doors to Devon Open Studios. I put up all the signs, handed out lots of brochures and promoted everywhere else I know. I sold the most sculptures and welcomed the most visitors. It was well worth all the work getting ready.

I am excited for my next open days:

Saturday 14th November 2026 (10-4) - I will be re-stocking with lots of my smaller pieces as well as the most popular ones

Saturday 13th March 2027 (10-4) - Come for my 10th year anniversary! It is also the usual 'sneeky peek' at all the new sculptures I will have been creating over the Winter in preparation for the exhibitions. Come and see it first!

-------------------------------Preparing for Open Day---------------------------------

As you can see...chaos! It is lots of fun getting ready for an open day. Out with the old and in with the new. Afterwards I have a lovely upgraded space to enjoy going forward into the Winter.

The foundation of a new office space being created, so I am warm for the Winter

I always make big improvements to my overall efficiency when re-organising the space. Particuarly as I have only been here for 1 year. I am still getting used to the space and how best to use it.

Open Day - Saturday 12th September 10-4

Back in the workshop

I am back at the workshop with many irons in the fire.

• Preparing for Devon Open Studios e.g. gallery refurbish
• Completing private commissions
• Fulfilling orders for Cotswold Sculpture Park and Wye Valley Sculpture Garden
• Updating website
• Producing a leaflet

'Devon Open Studios' is organisied by Devon Artist Network. A map is produced listing all the artist studios in Devon taking part. Visitors get to pick and choose which studio they would like to see. It is a great way to see what is going on in the arts world in your local area. I am in the Exeter area, and there are many differents studios open.

Look out for artists doing grand open events, many artists like me like to make a big things out of an open day. We create a party atmosphere with refreshments, invite lots of people and opportunity for visitors to relax, enjoy the artwork and a day-out experience with friends.

New Designs 2026

 Hello 2026,

I love this time of year. 

I know it's darker; colder; wetter and windier, but that means we've got everything still to come. The days are getting longer, lighter, warmer, dryer and calmer. Plus, new artwork!

So, what am I going to make?

There are a few contenders I am currently looking at...

This year I want to return to a much loved bird within my collection, the wren. I first created this one in 2022, so 4 years ago. It has evolved a lot since then, but I want to re-approach it with fresh eyes. Eyes that have studied longer now and want to get deeper to the essence of wren.

Every year the gardens open and want new work for there visitors. Who doesn't like seeing new things? 

Watch this space

New! Free-standing Wren
