Tables need numbers in cafe's so I can make sure I get my cappuccino without the chocolate sprinkley bits instead of table 5. Chocolate in your coffee? no thank you very much...anyhow the School of Art at Leek College is very involved with our local art centre (the Foxlowe Arts Centre). We meet there, we eat there, we drink there, we volunteer there and I am the Exhibitions Co-ordinator there. So when asked to look at table numbers I thought I would start at the beginning....ie table 1. Having cut out the number 1 shape on my bandsaw I realised it was a little bit boring, so I whacked out a hole, put a little frame around it and lovingly stuck in a toy I had from my childhood. If you go into the Arts Centre you will find a mish mash of old chairs and tables all of them contain latent histories and memories of a previous life. By using a toy from my childhood I to hope to add to the rich tapestry of life form the past that will sprinkle a little sweetness to the future of the Foxlowe Arts Centre
