Filming with Scarborough TV News

Whilst I was participating in the North Yorkshire Open Studios Event a new company called “Scarborough News TV” asked if they could come and film me whilst I was on site at the Beiderbecke’s Hotel in Scarborough.

The Managing Director/ Presenter Martin Atterbury and Technical Director including cameraman Paul Atterbury are a father and son team who seek out local news alongside Director John Clayton, covering a range of local stories including events - which is where I feature!

On the day (Friday 14th June) I was a little bit nervous before they arrived as I sometimes have a habit of forgetting what I am talking about! However, I shouldn’t have been as when they arrived they were all very friendly and put me at ease straight away. In the clip, I talk to Martin about my artwork, products, career and future plans/ exhibitions.

I had an enjoyable experience and found them lovely, interesting people to talk to. I even took some sneaky pictures whilst Paul (cameraman) was taking some close up shots of my work.

 

And if you follow this link to their website, you will go directly to the film in which I feature:

I hope you enjoy it!

Ga11ery Eleven in Filey

The Gallery & The Event!

On Sunday the 30^th June I was one of three creative people asked to be present at Ga11ery Eleven (Filey) to talk to and discuss our work with the visitors. The Gallery is situated in a separate room inside a family run Post Office; it is a light space helped by the wonderfully tall elaborate windows and is full with an eclectic mix of work and treasures. The event itself was arranged by the very lovely Fiona Clibbens co-owner of the Post Office who also manages the Gallery and creates a lot of the artwork herself.

Other Creative People!

Peggy Fairburn is based in Beverley and creates patchwork and quilting was also present exhibiting her creations. She too is a charming lady who is very interesting to talk to; her work which takes many hours of painstaking attentiveness is equal in beauty and charm. Alongside her finished pieces she also had swatches available to show the different stages of creation to the visitors. Her work is available to purchase via Ga11ery Eleven and on her website.

I also met Claire Hall an author who was there to sign her new book: Mephisto: Friends, Family & Feathers. The main character in her book is a cat named Mephisto:

“In the course of his daily computer time, Mephisto uncovers events that affect him and his community. Things begin to turn darker when a provider (human) he feels close to is found dead in some fly-tipped rubbish. To make matters worse, the longstanding truce with the rats in in danger of collapse. Using his skills Mephisto sets about helping the providers uncover who is responsible.”

Claire known on her book cover as EJC Hall is also a lovely and interesting lady to talk to. Her book can be purchased via Ga11ery Eleven and also through Amazon Kindle or Amazon Paperback.

All in all I had a lovely day, the sun was shining, I made a few sales, I met some really lovely people and now I am also stocking Ga11ery Eleven in Filey!
