September proved to be the busiest month of the year because of another week of North East Open Studios that I participated in. As always I was extremely busy with the preparations in the 3-4 weeks running up to mid September when NEOS started but it was totally worth it, I had the best Open Studio week ever with lots of deeply interested visitors. There were plenty of returning customers but I was especially thrilled to see so many new faces some of whom were added to my customers' list. 18 of my works in total found new homes.
