28th August
Hope you're all enjoying our glorious summer and not getting too wet!!
I thought I'd put pen to paper before I go on holiday and remind you that the shop will close on Saturday 28th August at 3 p.m. We will re-open on Tuesday 14th September at the usual time.
It's been so busy just recently with loads going on that I'm very much in need of some 'time out'. Paul and I are really looking forward to spending some time with our German friends, Christine, Dietmar and Sandra.
The workshops just recently have been fab and you are all producing some amazing work. There's more to come. Sarah and I have been planning events until the end of the year. We hope you will join in.
The exhibitions really seem to have taken off, and they’ve become such a regular feature at The Cubby Hole that we’ve now given Gallerie@204 it’s own space on the web - just click on the link at the top of the page. It's great to see such a diverse range of work. Crewe always seems to get forgotten, dismissed as a cultural backwater but I intend to put us on the map!! We have bookings now until the end of June - how good is that! I'm sure that we can always fit in another Poetry Slam too!
