Open studio over

It was great, of course.  I'm not sure why it made me so nervous - I like doing book fairs, and it's not so very different.  I met lots of lovely people (who said lovely things) and I even started some work.  The only problem arose when there were a number of unconnected people in the room at once.  One man, approximately the age of a new graduate's dad, turned up at the same time as another man, approximately the age of a new graduate.  The first man referred to his son, the second man joined in the general conversation, and I made what seemed like the obvious assumption until the first man made his goodbyes and left, having been nudged out of the conversation by the arrival of a total stranger (oh dear).  And I did once or twice find myself trying to talk to two people at once, and managing neither conversation very well (oh dear again).  Still, I could have sat listening to people walk straight past the room all evening, which would have been just a little bit miserable and very oh dear.  

I didn't take any photos, but lots of other people did, mostly having asked permission first.  What do they do with them?

    Hi there

    I make prints and book arts, though nowhere near as often as I'd like - no good reason, just an inability to get on with things.  I occasionally go on about landscape (with which I am mildly obsessed) and various of its elements, and I like to pass comment on exhibitions I visit.
