First week in Cambridge

I'm still in shock but made it to Cambridge safe and sound! :} With a bit of serious footwork getting about I have had an interesting week and met lots of people already!

Last Sunday I popped down to Jesus Green where a live Jazz band were playing in the park Freddy and Friends New Orleans Jazz Band

which was so lovely the weather was perfect and the atmosphere so relaxed amongst the picnicers.

Yesterday I popped in to Williams Art Gallery on Gwydir http://www.williamsart.co.uk/

and met Deanna Tyson who makes amazing Kimonos and artworks which are commissioned worldwide http://www.deannatyson.co.uk/ Her work is also listed in the members artist section of Williams Art.

Last night I joined Knit Cambridge and found a great bunch of ladies with some beautiful knitting! Will be meeting volunteers with Kettlesyard on Friday for a Music mail out.

There exhibition space is lovely and is still my favourite place to visit. http://www.kettlesyard.co.uk/

Met some members of Transition Cambridge and http://www.transitioncambridge.org/ who promote sustainable living from allotment gardening to recycling clothing and this is only week one i'm exhausted!

End of an Era !

Can't believe four years of study is over!!! well not quite there is an MA looming :} Monday was a strange day hand in the final major project then move out of my lovely home and head down to Cambridge. New beginnings :) Over the past couple of weeks I have barely had time to think of anything other than printing, fingers crossed XXX

So what have I done since landing here in Cambridge?....

Well Tuesday I went to the Fitzwilliam Museum to see the Making Waves exhibition by Maggi Hambling they are impressive paintings of waves and you really get a sense of the power of the sea with the scale of them.

Wednesday the Vue Cinema to see the new Ridley Scott, Robin Hood film. Gorgeous costume and a refreshingly different take on the history of Robin Hood, loved it!!

Thursday wander around the shops there are a couple I need to post on here that are just yummy for handmade gifts. Today's is Callyco for fine fabrics and accessories http://www.callyco.com/ some really delightful prints as well as buttons, ribbons and clothkits.

Tomorrow I think I might pop down to Kettlesyard. I'll post more when I've been down but it's one of my favourite galleries with work by Ben Nicholson and Picasso.
