Every cloud has a silver lining. My convalescence following abdominal surgery has meant that my daughter Odette has taken over the running of our Gallery for April. 

She, in turn, has risen to the challenge admirably and now I am sitting up in bed writing the first entry for the New Gallery website Blog which is a part of Odette’s Gallery improvement plans.

This year we hope to expand our activities in many ways. These include the establishment of a stained and fused glass workshop so that both Odette and Andrea Insoll can produce and exhibit glass panels at the gallery.

We also plan to work with Gemma Insoll by exhibiting paintings at the new Insoll Interiors workshops and showroom in The Quarry at Portscatho, possibly as early as June.

These new developments, together with the usual Artists’ activities at the Portscatho studio will be covered as I update this page. Meanwhile, here is a photograph of Odette at the Gallery a few weeks ago.
