the summer so far...

the good thing about this summer is that i've been really busy with conferences, exhibitions, festivals, making new work and contacts. the bad time about this summer is that i've had so much on, i haven't had time to blog about it!

june saw me stateside, firstly in louisville, kentucky for the glass art society conference, which was as exciting and exhausting as usual. after the conference i headed on to new york for a few days, where i saw some amazing art, enjoyed the sunshine and walked about 500 miles. i returned to the uk with a stack of business cards from new contacts, a head full of ideas and the need to sleep for a week! highlights of the trip were discovering the 21c museum hotel, louisville, that not only had a full blown gallery in the lobby, but also made killer martinis, and art-jacking moma, new york. no seriously, i really art-jacked moma.

in july i was at art in action at waterperry gardens, demonstrating making my work and showing in the best of the best exhibition. it's the third year i've been invited and was definitely my best show yet; four days of camping, glass bending, and non stop talking! one of the 25,000 visitors was Teleri l-j from the crafts council, who included an image of my best of the best exhibit in her blog about the festival.
