Lyme Bay Arts

I have joined the recently formed Lyme Bay Arts CIC and took part in their first Members' Exhibition in September. Some stunning pieces were on display and it was very busy for the whole three weeks! It coincided with Bridport Open Studios and was part of their circuit. A really encouraging start to this exciting venture!

The next exhibition I will hopefully be taking part in is the Autumn Open which runs from 9th to 27th November. Do visit if you are in the area, you will not be disappointed!

Err... there's one missing!

Replenished!

One more!

Lovely bronze figurines

Interesting forge work

Found it! The one which sold before I could get a photo!

Yandles show Sept 2019

I absolutely loved demonstrating on my own stand at Yandles show for the first time. It was as busy as I've ever seen it; apparently the car park was full to overflowing and I think it was elbow room only in the mill. My stand was in the marquee with the other woodturners and also my club, Martock and District Woodturners, the first time for several years I have not been involved with their stand!
I demonstrated mainly Dragon bowls, either Green Dragon or a version using sycamore with purple as the base colour and a mix of bronze and gold highlights. I made a couple of bowls completely but for most of the time, especially on Saturday, demonstrated to small groups who came round, watched me do the textured rim, base colour and highlight on small portions of the rim and then moved on to other demonstrators. On both days I wasn't able to have a break until about 2pm. I prefer it that way though, its great to have an appreciative audience!

Ready to start on day 2, Saturday morning

My stand was next to Jay Heryet
