What an afternoon!
My first hen workshop with 9 lovely hens, Prosecco, tea, cake and lots of printing!!
This group of ladies were a very creative bunch and produced a fantastic set of prints - a few to keep for themselves and 1 print of each will be framed and on the walls at Rebecca’s home wedding in 2 weeks.
All the very best wishes for a beautiful wedding on the 27th Rebecca and Peter. 🎊💕

Aude // part 1
The best relaxing, inspiring, colourful and oh so very hot 🥵 week spent in the South of France.
Our gîte was full of beautiful original artwork by the owner and artist Marie Robin and a truly beautiful place to spend the week.
My obsession with colourful French door/window/shutter/facade compositions still clearly continues….!

I’ve caught my breath, tidied up and done the life admin I’d put on hold for the last 2 weeks so now I’d like to say a belated Thank You to everyone who stopped by and visited all the at the weekend. I had lots of great conversations, fantastic sales and positive interest in what I do and in screen printing.
If you didn’t pick information up info about workshops and would like to find out more about forthcoming ones please search Alison Hardcastle on Eventbrite (link in Instagram profile).
Thank you again x

Day #2 of Pocklington Area Open Studios and the sky is looking ominous but at least the work inside is full of colour!🌈
There’s lots of parking in the yard if you’re coming by car to avoid any showers. And the kettle is on for teas and coffees. Plus I baked brownies last night! 🍫 ☕️
Looking forward to meeting people!

All new work will be on view and sale this weekend at Venue 13, Nunburnholme
