Friday 2nd August - the opening of 'A Peak District Thing' at the Foxlowe. Felt strangely nervous as 'the curator'! Not that many would know I was the curator (unless i kept saying to everyone hi...i'm the curator!) but I wanted people to enjoy the selected work as much as i had enjoyed selecting it and to go away saying what a great exhibition....Almost felt as if it was my work on show
The private view was great, very busy with a good atmosphere. Lewis and his wife came thought the exhibition looked good. It was Mandys first exhibition so felt pleased to have been part of her first show with her beautiful quilts. I personally absolutely love Lewis's work, so having curated a show with his work in feels like an indulgance on my part and I was really chuffed when one of the people at the private view asked Chris...'How did you manage to get Lewis Noble to show here!!' Just wish i could afford to buy one...maybe one day, in the mean time will just have to enjoy looking at his work in the Foxlowe. His sketchbook is fantastic, with so many amazing paintings in it. The ceramic work looked great and Lindas work had a really great response...overall, i think, a success.
The artists:

...and again...cool in his shades!
