I'm setting up at the Three Counties Showground this afternoon for the Malvern Autumn Show.

I'm going to show some of the Autumn Leaves metalwork pieces.

More information regarding the show can be found at www.threecounties.co.uk and on the WGDC website www.wgdc.org.uk

The Guild will have the new directory's available at the show which are a very useful guide to the Guild members. My Bransford studio will still be open today and Saturday as usual.

Fingers crossed for good weather......

Hartlebury WGDC shop

Hello...

Yesterday I popped over to the County Museum at Hartlebury where the Worcestershire Guild have a permanent craft area within the shop.

We've just changed the display over to a more spring like theme (although it doesn't feel very 'Spring like' today!!). I've put in some garden sticks & a selection of garden related jewellery pieces.
