Mostly on the road for the last few weeks. Back home, the house is full of bowls being painted. For the full story visit www.dishinit.co.uk. After Easter, doing some workshops in Warsaw. Meantime, up to Glasgow to see some artists, then straight down to Dorchester to give an illustrated slide lecture to a small but appreciative audience at the County Museum. (Crossing Borders: from the Piddle Valley to Poland, from Sandwell to Sarajevo, with a few places in-between…) This was part of Travellers Tales, organised by Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society. Then over to Southampton and visit the Isle of Wight. Back up to Brum to get a haircut and miss most of the opening at Curzon Street Station of The Event, a series of artist run activities in permanent and temporary spaces throughout the city centre. Lots of people dressing up as if they’d time-warped from Liverpool 1982… Oh well.

Went on to Epic Skate Park in Moseley to catch midnight samba masque thing (pretty good, actually). Photo from the ubiquitous camera phone (borrowed).
