Christmas 2010

This was our Open Studios for Christmas 2010. We had decided only to open for one weekend just before Christmas – but we hadn’t expected such difficult weather! There was heavy snow most of the week before – here’s a photo of the studio in the garden on the Friday!
The studio has most of its light coming in through the roof normally, so it was very dark inside with the snow covering it. We spent most of the day clearing the snow from the path and from the studio roof, also from the roof of the printmaking studio.

It must have worked like a rain dance – overnight on Friday all the snow disappeared! So we opened on Saturday with no problems at all.

Here are a couple of pages from the source book for the Blossom project:
