Friday 6th December 14:00-18:00 it’s Caffe Casti at Löwenberg Schluein. I’ll be serving drinks and cakes and there will be a mini Christmas market with cards and wrapping paper from England, small arty gifts and ceramic treasures made by my neighbours here. A lovely way to spend the afternoon on St Nicholas’s Day.

My print/collage/painting “Marilyn“ was sold in the auction at Casti Löwenberg last night. An exciting end to a memorable day.

The corridor that leads to my space is rather atmospheric!
