The Gallery at Waterperry Gardens

What I’m up to next….   ‘The Printed Garden’ at Waterperry opens on the 20th September and I’m making floral sgraffito pieces for The Gallery at Waterperry to compliment the gorgeous prints. 🌼🌸🌻🌺 It was great to meeting gallery curator Kate when I was exhibiting at Craft Festival Cheltenham back in March where I got hear of her plans… sounds rather wonderful! 😊
I’ll be sending a colourful collection of espresso cups with saucers, bowls & spoons, cream jugs, tea mugs and of course, a few of my popular flower bricks in various sizes.
Thank you for the invitation Kate!
