May

Greetings for May.

It is getting busier and busier. Have got into the swing of regular fairs (Cambridge Glass Fair) but more are coming along. I will be showing at Handmade in Britain, first time, later in the year and there is the Glass Biennale coming up in the late summer.

One big preoccupation is now the Book, which has been cooking for many years. Now the research is over and I am making work, I have to get on with it once and for all. I am getting responses from other artists who have been working with reverse glass gilding (verre eglomise) so I can show their work as examples. Work will continue through the summer (crouching in my caravan in the depths of Poland).

I will of course announce it once it is nearing completion, and in the meantime will be keeping my eyes open for tips on how to publicize a self published book. Is Amazon a good idea? What does anyone think?
