I'm raring to go!

 My partner and myself have had several  months of knockbacks due to illness. I'll not go into any detail, but all our time has been taken up with doctors appointments, scans, hospital admissions and operations.

 We await further scan results and we are hoping for some good news, we remain as positive as we can under the circumstances and keeping fingers crossed, hoping that the worst is behind us. We look forward to  getting back to some normality!

 When we are ready and have passed all health checks ✔️ the event days will begin once more. We will be booking our event days a little closer to home.

 We plan to showcase at Trentham Makers Market in May. Why not visit us at our next show. If you would like to be kept updated on any upcoming event days or to be kept informed of the latest releases and offers for Exclusive Members please Subscribe to our monthly newsletter.

 We offer bespoke limited edition wall art which are all individually hand signed and numbered. There's also a great selection of greeting cards to compliment "The Way We Were" series and the "Potteries Nostalgic" series of prints. Over the next few months we will be introducing some new prints and expanding the greeting cards range.

Prints are faithfully reproduced from the originals. limited edition prints are issued with a certificate of authenticity. View the website for more information.

Your First Artisan Makers Market

Image
I've done a lot of fairs, although I should be saying "We" because without my partner Sue, I really couldn't do them without her. Susan is brilliant at sales and engages with everyone she meets. Fairs, Makers Markets, Artisan Events or whatever you want to call them? The most important thing is to enjoy them, if you get it right they'll beat any website or social media selling sites for sales. Don't get me wrong, websites are important, I have a  Website   and social media plays a big part in getting your brand out there and getting you noticed! Do your homework Go and visit an Artisan Market. Maybe the one where you plan to physically trade is a great idea and speak to other traders. Find out what works for them, they'll be pleased you're taking some interest in their pitch and for sure you'll get other stallholders visiting your pitch when you finally showcase your products.

Losing My Sight!

Image
 It hit me like a steam train! It seems like a lifetime since that day back in August 2023. The specialists continue to investigate into how and why I suffered sudden sight loss due to a Central Retinal Artery Occlusion. So far the scans and tests have shown nothing, now waiting for a biopsy. I've been told, vaguely it could be due to my diabetes, cholesterol or even arthritis, all of which I try to keep under control. I do have a very inquisitive nature, so I thought I'd spend a little time researching and digging up some facts. I know that we shouldn't search for medical symptoms on Google and specialists have told me "it doesn't do any good" but because my eyesight in my left eye (The good eye) appears to be getting worse, so here's what i've discovered... O cular mucous membrane pemphigoid  is a type of scarring conjunctivitis. It affects the membrane that lines the eyelids and covers the white of the eye  (the conjunctiva). I n the UK, around 1

Losing your sight is devastating! It's hell on earth for an Artist!

Image
It was last year I noticed my vision began to deteriorate whilst painting. Each day my eyesight would get blurry and I just thought I needed to rest. In late August of 2023 I woke up with eyes blistering and pain to the right eye, my partner suggested I go to the doctor. The drive to the health clinic was a bit scary, my vision began to worsen in particular my right eye. I was not seeing clear lines and everything was converging to the left. I was sent to the emergency eye clinic in Stoke-on-Trent uhnm.nhs UHNM where I was treated for conjunctivitis, it was not conjunctivitis! After a week or so and medication that just didn't work I was admitted for more investigations. Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) was the diagnosis. It's the sudden blockage of the central Retinal Artery, resulting in Retinal hypoperfusion, rapidly progressive cellular damage and vision loss. It has been a struggle and I've had to adapt. Painting has been slow and tedious but I will get there wi
