After a busy December

15th January 2018

Wow! What an action packed December.  ‘Natures Alchemy’ exhibition at bo.lee gallery’s new permanent space in Peckham has just finished.  I was lucky enough to be showing alongside some really fantastic artists including the recently knighted Sir Richard Long. And thrilled to have had some great media coverage during the show, the highlight of which had to be my interview with Jonathan Ross for the BBC Radio 2 Arts Show.  Things are now settling down and I look forward to an equally vibrant 2018. Thanks to all who joined us at the gallery last week for the artists talk and Q&A session.

Water gilding the frames

16th June 2016

What an absolute pleasure to watch, a master gilder at work: removing the loose leaf from the book; coating the frame in a solution of rabbit skin glue, water and meths; cutting the leaves to size and placing them individually onto the frame; and finally smoothing the gold with cotton wool.
