I was invited to teach botanical casting at Wessex Sculptors Guild yesterday 🖤 at The Black Shed. It really was an enjoyable day for me and a lovely bunch of people to teach! The autumn sun was glowing low through the trees of Bramdean and I'm pleased to say I avoided the wandering pheasants on my drive through the woods!🐓
Thank you so much for a wonderful day! 💚x
