In my previous blogs this year, I’ve charted my progress in preparing for a big exhibition of my work in a Michelin starred pub/restaurant (The Sportsman, Seasalter) along the coast from where I live. Making the work was a big undertaking. Since I last wrote, I’ve set up the six-week exhibition and as I press the button on this blog, it still has a few days left to run.
I confess I’ve done no felt-making since I set up this exhibition so I’m going to show you what I have of this event, plus a few photos of another exhibition I had at the same time.
I’m apologising in advance as these aren’t great photos. I took them more as a record for myself rather than trying to capture the feel. The light is very yellow and they don’t do the venue justice. Once I’d set up the pictures, I had a lovely private view with about 35 friends and family. Alas, I took no photos of that as I was thinking about being the host. I did, however, get a nice picture of my daughter and husband in that uncomfortable space when you’re waiting for things to start and worrying in case no one comes to your party
The Sportsman has 3 linked dining areas & a corridor
These are some images from room 1
Room 2 is the largest room
Room 3, which backs onto the kitchen garden
And finally the corridor
Looking at these, I haven’t included everything but I hope you get the idea.
I’m delighted to say that 6 pictures have sold.
While the Sportsman exhibition was in progress, I also had a week in the hut in Whitstable harbour. I was a bit short of felt pictures so I included some 3D work and some of my photographs.
I’ve been thinking about what to do next and pondering some more 3D work. For now, I’m really happy to have got these exhibitions done.
