We did it again on 1st July 2023

Cream Teas and Glass and Ceramic Exhibition

We held the Cream Teas event and the weather was not as bad as forecast.

The Cream Teas were served in the garden in domes - Scones with strawberry jam and cream!

Eveyone seemed to enjoy themselves and we raised £228.64 for "Help For Heroes"

This year we were joined by local artisans - Cass Peters and Lorna McHardy whose work was displayed in the house.

Tthe domes were excellent shelter from the not so warm breeze. Anyone interested in the domes and wants to have one in their own garden can find out about them at ArgyllDomes.co.uk

Some of Cass's work from last year

Cass Peters, the glass artist, whose work was showcased in the exhibition, has her studio in Alexandria. In her studio Cass teaches fused and leaded glass techniques as well as repairing stained glass or creating cummissioned new pieces. Cass Peters Glass Art website The 4 six foot tall glass sculptures she created for Dundee Botanic Gardens are now on display. The gardens are well worth a visit if you are in Dundee (Dundee University Botanic Gardens website)

New this year is Lorna McHardy of KilnCritters

"There is something magical about pottery. Starting with a formless lump of clay, which holds within itself anything your ability and imagination can produce, through the whole process of making, firing, glazing and firing again; before opening the kiln with bated breath to see what the unpredictable alchemy of fire will have created from your efforts. I've been doing this for around 3 years noww, and will probably still be doing it in my dotage. There is, after all, no limit to the ways in which a kiln can produce critters! "
