I also have two ex-Cockpit Studios, London makers: Amanda Doughty, contemporary jewellery; and Ken Eardley, ceramics. Amanda is an experienced jeweller, tutor and is currently writing ‘Bangles & Bracelets’ for A+C Black. Her work is clean, classic and highly commissioned by customers and galleries. I’ve asked Ken to show his colourful stripes range and I think they will go well with anything. Simple shapes and lines.

And I’m on the wall with watercolours of shoes this year. The few that have had a preview of them have given favourable ums and ahhs. So I’m very pleased and satisfied with the series. I’ve also included a couple of Sussex landscapes and a favourite of mine which has finally come out the drawer – a vase of cherry branches. There are cards and badges also.

You are very welcome to have cake and tea and to rest your ‘art trail feet’.

So do come along if you need cheering up, it’s raining or you’re bored. See you soon.
