Art In Action 2012

Art in Action 2012- I exhibited and demonstrated my textiles at this lovely show at Waterperry House, Oxford. 






All kitted out in my wellies for the show. The grounds were sodden, but everyone remained undeterred and in high spirits. Almost felt like being at a music festival.


So on day 1, I was kitted out in my wellies.

I invited people to tag the place they travelled from to Art in Action on the British Map quilt. What a wonderful variety of visitors- we had someone all the way from Orkney Islands, from Glasgow, from York, North Wales, Dorset. FAB!





                                  
The Textiles Tent


The organisers put a wonderful show of music and dance performances together for the exhibiting artists. It felt so special!
There was Flamenco, performed by Spanish artists for us

All exhibiting artists were treated to a lovely sit-down dinner by the organisers. Here are my fellow Textile artists.


There were food stalls serving all sorts of yumminess and 400 artists demonstrating everything from glass blowing to painting
