A visit to the Patchings Art, Craft and Design Festival today.
Held near Nottingham it has artists and crafts people doing demonstrations over the four days of which today was the first.
For more information about this festival it's better that you visit the Patchings site rather than me repeat the infomation. The festival page is here which has full details plus down the right hand side are links to sections within the areas which has all the artists/crafts/materials listed...
A selection of the 'new' brushes purchased from Rosemary and Co - Pure Kolinsky Sable Riggers (left) in different sizes, a number of different size and shapes in the Ivory Range and some Masters Choice on the right hand side. As I like to have a colour mix on each brush, saves time cleaning between colours, this results in more brushes being used and is not a requirement by any means - just the method I use...
Part of the Festival - all those demonstrating are in the marquees but due to no photography (copyright) I took no pictures within the marquees but by going through the lists on the Patchings Festival page you will get links and/or samples of each artists work.
