‘The Robin’

Julia at work

How wonderful it was to have Julia Burns from Red Hen Originals visit us on 31st October – to launch her eighth and final Christmas Robin (it is particularly sweet this year) and to demonstrate her wonderful potato printing technique to an interested audience.

We had many people coming in during the morning to watch her at work and to ask her questions.  She gave a lovely souvenir gift tag to all our visitors.  We have framed ours!

It was also wonderful to have Jane Thorniley-Walker, who made the gorgeous mosaic robins and mirrors and Pam Chilton, who made the hand needle felted robins and other animals which sell very well in our gallery.

What a fantastic tribute to the Robin, Britain’s favourite bird – and an ideal introduction to the beginning of our Christmas trading period!
