Events Calendar

Here is a list of events I'm booked to attend during 2010, at least those that are confirmed already, with several more anticipated.

There is currently some of my work in the PAD Gallery in Preston ( by the Market ), in the Signature Gallery in Kendal, and in the Mere Sands Wood Vistor Centre at Rufford, as well as in the Manic-Organic Farm Shop in Scarisbrick.

We are also planning to do an "EARTH BURN" - that is, making charcoal the old way, without a steel kiln - at Beacon Park, over the weekend of 26th to 28th March 2010. Mix mud, sweat, smoke and charcoal dust for the original dirty weekend.

 

Something else I'm involved in is GROWL - GRow Organic West Lancashire - an informal group of friends with a common interest in Organic and natural growing, be it farm, garden or alottment or just a general desire to get away from the Supermarket plastic. We meet once a month, usually, but not exclusively, at 7-30pm on the third Thurday, usually in St. Mark's Parish Hall, Scarisbrick in the winter and out-and-about in summer, and usually with a theme. Anyone is welcome, no membership conditions, just drop in. Provisional dates for the next few months are:-
