...we're back from our little break in Cornwall...
...having thoroughly enjoyed a couple of gorgeous days, flitting around some of the "Artists' Open Studios".
It's a bit of a long haul from here to there, so we always stop for a tea/coffee break at our little packhorse bridge on Bodmin Moor.
It's such a beautiful place....quiet....peaceful.....
On Thursday we made our way down to Trewidden Gardens to have a look around the artists' studios that are ranged around a courtyard.
I particularly wanted to see the prints and ceramics of Peter Wray...
...and...
...yes...
...I did indulge...
...just a little :-)
(Look at that turquoise raku crazing inside!!)
Afterwards, we were going to head towards Lamorna, but somehow got sidetracked and ended up at the Minack Theatre.
What a glorious place to end up....especially on a day with such blue skies and warmth!
After a couple of hours mooching around here...
...we eventually got to Lamorna a bit too late to find any artists' open doors, but enjoyed the late evening with a cup of tea in the car.
Friday we stuck close to "home" and visited a few studios around Redruth...
...the lovely Cat Rowe being number 1 on the list.
(Her blog is now in the list over there -> on the right too)
We met last year and have kept in touch...
She is such a talented lady.
(We'll be meeting up again at the NEC when she'll be bringing my little commissioned piece with her :-)))
Finally, before heading back home on Saturday, we got lost around Camborne but eventually found Sue Dove's garden studio...
...where her gorgeous work and many sketchbooks were on display.
Did I indulge there too?
You bet I did!!
... this little stitched collage will be keeping me company on my workroom notice-board!
OK....
...so it was (maybe) a bit of an expensive couple of days....
...but oh-so-enjoyable.
Now though...
..the sun is beckoning...
..and I'm off to sit out on the patio with some hand-stitching...
...and a cup of freshly-brewed coffee!!
Enjoy your day...
