January is always a time for thinking about the year ahead. It’s often about reassessing and taking stock. This year will be a little different for me as I have taken the decision not to participate in some of the events which would normally shape my working year. This doesn’t mean that I won’t be working. However it will take the pressure off certain points in the year and allow me a little more freedom to make whatever I like.
I would usually be looking forward to participating in some of my regular shows like Bucks Art Weeks in June. There are many reasons for taking a break this year but primarily, I hope it will give me the time and opportunity to build a body of work.
I am still really pleased to be part of the Buckinghamshire Craft Guild and I will continue to regularly demonstrate at the guild gallery (see diary section for details). If you haven’t visited since we moved to our lovely new gallery space last year, you will find it is filled with high quality, beautiful work by over 34 local Buckinghamshire based artists. This year we are already planning several special exhibitions, kicking off with our Spring exhibition starting on the 24th February. It will feature some lovely new work from our membership including some of our new members whose work we are excited to share with you. Later in the year we will have an exciting themed show in the autumn but more on that nearer the time.
More details about all these things to come. Keep checking back if you’re interested to know more.
