Where are the day's going? God life is getting more busy by the minute. Brighton Artists Open Houses is going well and I am in the process of organising our venue at the Henfield Arts and Gardens weekend in June. 13th and 14th get it in your dairy. Lots of homes in the village open up their gardens for the public and there is always lots to see, music to hear and art, plants and crafts to buy. Oh and loads of venues sell great food and an aray of tasty home made cakes.

This year it's celebrating it's 10th anniversary with a sculpture trail. It's always a lovely weekend and for the first time I am taking part in it. Myself and some of my neighbours on the terrace are opening up the green and serving lunch and teas and cakes on the Sunday.

I am doing an open sudio all weekend where I will be exhibiting my new work along with ceramicist Barbara Collins who makes beautiful ceramic 'pods' and hanging pieces for home and garden. Desdemona McCannon illustrator and photographer will be exhibiting her gorgeous hand pressed photo tiles and sculptor Simon St John Best will be showing his quirky metal robots. Mary Moox will be showing her magical creatures and selling her sock monkeys, a firm favorite at the Brighton Open Houses each year. Natasha Caughey is the jeweller behind Auricula Jewellery in Ditchling. She will be selling her luminous hand-made jewellery.

Ceramicist Frances Doherty who used to exhibit at Alison Rankin's venue will now be on the terrace in the vegetable patch outside number 16. On the green Alice Ellis will be exhibiting large stunning mosaics along with her husband designer Giles Ellis's unique cards, posters and wrapping papers. We will also have Circus Kinetica's truly unusual windmills made from things like old expresso tins and olive oil cans. We may even have a 3 meter metal scorpion sculpture!

I can't wait.
