I had a real panic on this week, fearing I would be seriously low on supplies following a large workshop on the 9th. I had visions of racing down to the coast and perhaps getting frozen to the driftwood I needed to collect. Then getting back home in my little flowery car (pictures to follow - once the car is clean) through the inevitable ice and snow that was destined to hamper my journey at every turn. Naturally, I would need a rug, flask of hot coffee, sandwiches, fully charged mobile phone, a pen and paper on which to write my final freezing thoughts and my dog (who would probably eat me if I were to fall asleep before she did!)...since I am writing my BLOG on this chilly winter's night in front of a lovely warm wood burning stove it is fair to deduce the potentially treacherous journey wasn't necessary!

Thursday, it transpired, was a great day and I had more than enough materials for the charming group of people who attended the workshop. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal, lot's of chit-chat, lot's of laughter and lot's of concentration to boot. The mirrors all looked amazing and everyone seemed surprised and delighted with their creations - a very creative morning was had by all. Once again, I came away from the workshop with a happy heart. The participants really did seem to get a kick out of tackling something different. Just touching the materials sparked distant memories and the stories and facts came flooding into the conversation thick and fast. These workshops are so much more than just creating a little work of art...
