Week 19 2020

Hello!

I hope this finds you all well?  Current thinking suggests we'll be able to move a little more freely from 11th May.  With this in mind, we are re-opening the Maison des Artisans in Sauveterre from Tuesday 12 May.  All precautions will be in place, masks, hand sanitiser available and social distancing procedures will be in place.

La Boutique comprises of 9 independent artisans who form an association and together we take it in turns to man the shop.  We also offer workshops, take commissions and promote 'buy local'. We've all been hit hard with the closure of the shop, so, it would be great to see you.

I had just updated my stand when we the Corona virus hit us.  Here's a sneak preview.

Whatever you do this week, keep safe and well, and we may see each other soon.
Best wishes,
Helen

There has been plenty of people taking the time to create during the lock down.  One such couple is Claire and Barry Scofield.  They are talented artists, have a look at them singing and find out more about their art projects.

Claire and I have making a few music videos during lockdown, and would like to share them with you. There are a few to watch, here's a link to one of them.

Also I wanted to share with you my new website/project.  My project which is providing drawings for people to paint pictures that don't have very good drawing skills. I now have it running (although it will be continual work in progress) so find out more about it below. It's called Accademia Art.  www.accademiaart.com
