With these Hands

I am hoping to arrange a get-together of all Wirral visual creatives who want to meet other Wirral creatvies for artistic collaborations, advice or friendship. I am planning to have a monthly get together in Moose Coffee in Oxton while we get started and possibly move to their larger venue at Woodside if we get too big. If you are interested join the group by clicking on the heading above, it will take you to the Facebook site. Then I'll let you know when I have enough people. Come and talk and buy a coffee !!
Also to let you know where to find my own personal blog

Secret Gardens of Oxton- Huge success and not too wet

The weather held mostly and it was not as hot as last year so comfortable to do alot of the gardens on show. Judith Brown and I managed 25 out of the 30 private gardens on offer. It was a lovely day and we caught up with most of the artists in the gardens including Marie Mairs, Eleanor Suggett whose words on slate are shown here, Theresia Cadwallader and Janine Suggett from the Oxotn Artists as well as the artist who meet in the Green Community shop and Centre called Re-Creation Studios, Michael Burns, Angela Hinchcliffe. As well as visual artists there were roaming poets and musicians.

Secret Gardens poster

The lovely Secret Gardens of Oxton poster has been designed by Eleanor Suggett, one of the Oxton Artists. I can't seem to upload the PDF but it is very simple, like William Morris.
