At last.
The Exhibition at Astley Hall is up and looks amazing even though I say it myself. If you live anywhere in the vicinity it would be great to see you. Easy parking, nice cafe, lovely old Hall to view and then pop across to the Coach House Gallery upstairs for our exhibition.
70 pieces from 9 people. Mostly new works and some older ones.
Heres a bad view of the hall which is a gem.
I live quite nearby so I think I'll be popping in on other occasions.
Other plans for the summer: a week in Dorset. I had a bee in my bonnet about Dorset and have found a delightful little cottage which happens to be the home of a Textile artist. It was meant to be. We got a cancellation.
A trip to the Festival of Quilts on the Thursday is also booked, and a visit to the Royal Exchange theatre next week . Then its the big six-o.
Oh.
Hope the expo is a great success!
ReplyDelete(I'm sure it WILL be)

Will you take lots of photos, please?
Dorset, lovely

OK, about to show some real ignorance... where abouts is Chorley? I'd love to come but not sure if it's too far from me?

Well... I have just blogged (briefly) about our trip to... Dorset! It is a beautiful place, you will love it, as we always love the same places, don't we? And as you already know, Axminster is the place if you run out of big pants :-)
ReplyDeleteI know, Axminster is in Devon, but only just.

Lovely to see you Jackie! It sure looks like you are having the time of your life.
