all for one and one for all: group painting art workshop
In #kunstcentrum #tholen yesterday we had an art workshop. Together the group painted a 12 piece painting with everyone working on their own individual painting. It was great to see it evolve in the course of the afternoon!

Beach paintings, feather etchings and peanut butter cinnamon swirls
We've been busy this last week redesigning the exhibition in our gallery. The beach and sea paintings fit really well with the wood panelling.
My new business cards arrived as well....they're so cute....
I've recently added a few new etchings to my Etsy store: this larger etching above of a group of ladies wearing the traditional outfit for one of the islands in our area. I used dry point, aquatint and vernis mou on this etching. These are all techniques that give the piece the different textures.
And these 3 feather etchings were new additions to my store this week.
And lastly, on Saturdays, for the etching workshop and open studio, I make a cake. This week's was this scrummy peanut butter and cinnamon swirl....wow it was delicious! Not a crumb over......

KunstCentrum Tholen: a new home
It's been a while since I've been here and a lot has happened this last while. The KunstCentrum (art centre) has moved to Hoogstraat 28 in Tholen. We love our new studio. It's lovely and light and great for working in. The etching press was the first thing to move in and has pride of place.
We're feeling very lucky!

dutch design chair
Yesterday I came across a fantastic shop in Bergen op Zoom here in the Netherlands. It sold all kinds of innovative objects and fair trade products. One of the pieces was this amazing stool made completely from cardboard and assembled in a matter of minutes. It can support up to 200kg and is really sturdy, but light to lift. I love it! Slippers weren't included...
