Getting excited about one of my favourite weekends
View this email in your browser

Not long now...


It's just over two weeks until one of my favourite art events: the Saltaire Festival Makers' Fair on 12 and 13 September. I don't know whether it's the very special location, the quality of work, the buzzy atmosphere created by the hard working Saltaire Inspired team or simply the uplifting company of so many talented artists and makers and the particularly delightful visitors which this event attracts - but whatever the magic ingredient is, I'm really looking forward to the weekend. Do come along and experience it for yourself if you possibly can; you won't be disappointed.

I'm working on a couple of collagraph prints of North Yorkshire landmarks at the moment, which I'm hoping to debut at the Fair. Below are little glimpses of the plates, one after varnishing and one before. Printing starts today, so everybody please blow in this direction to help me dry the ink in time.

Last call for watercolour absolute beginners


There is just one place available on my Absolute Beginners in Watercolour workshop on 5 September. Held here in my home studio, this practical four hour session will set you up with the confidence to go home and enjoy your painting, cutting through the jargon and mystique and getting to grips with materials, equipment and colour mixing. £50 including all materials and morning refreshments. For more information about this and other dates, please click the workshops button below.

Giveaway winner


Congratulations to Gail Falkingham who won an Ammonite mini print in the blog giveaway mentioned in last month's newsletter. Gail (along with many others) spotted me in the Saltaire Inspired video and was able to tell me that the word on screen at the time was 'creative'. Gail now has her print and emailed  "Many thanks again, it’s absolutely gorgeous, I love it!". If you would like a print of your own they will be available at the Makers' Fair and can also be found online on Etsy.

NEW - Free UK delivery on all items


By the way, talking of my Etsy shop, I now offer FREE UK delivery (First Class) on everything there, so the price you see is all you pay - nothing is added at the checkout. Overseas delivery charges have been reduced too.
That's all for this month. I do hope to see you at Saltaire - if you come along don't forget to introduce yourself if we haven't already met!

Best wishes,  Jane
