After a very successful meet yesterday at my studio and workshop I'd just like to bring to everyones attention to my Demo Day Social Event next Friday.
The aim of the day is to cater for those that were unable to attend yestedays meet and after many cups of tea and coffee (and some lovely cake ) It was decided that in addition to the social side of things we will be holding a Silversmithing & Lampwork Demonstration Day.Starting at around 11.30 am next Friday and going on through into the evening it will be your chance to watch and participate in some Silversmithing & lampworking possibly some very talented Dichroic glass work too. We have full workshop tools and facilities including bench mounted oxycon sytems and kilns for the glass work.

This is free to attend but a donation for tea and coffe would be nice. You can bring cake if you want to .:ta:

Details of actual location are through my website. Home (http://www.carlmartinjewellery.co.uk)

I am located in Waterlooville in Hampshire

From the posts off of another forum and after yesterdays comments I can see this as a regular weekly event.

Just so I can cater for numbers If there is anyone off of this fine forum that would like to come along you are more than welcome but could you just let me know. I so far have about 15 attending throughout the day but the more the merrier.
Thanks in Advance

How surreal is that Carl. I used to live in Blendworth, not far from you, near the Gales Brewery - do you know it?

Gemma if you finish a bit early or fancy a trip over anyway, the event is going on well into the evening.

Hmm...may well have to swing by... I work in Portsmouth and live in Southampton so a slight detour to Waterlooville on the way home from work is highly do-able

If I could think of a way of doing this mobile I might just do it ~ like a craft roadshow ~ Convet a double decker bus :Y:

Trouble is I'll be pondering this for days now #-o

Straight down the A21 to East Sussex, nice to get to the seaside yes? Hastings is only a couple of miles south of me and you can go have a paddle (forget the fact that its bitter out there atm lol):Y:

I think we are planning this route nicely :D

Nice one Su':Y:
I personally go for the more natural (farmyard) fertilisers - but somehow think that might be counter productive in this case...:-O

...but I did find this nifty little recipe that we could try -

"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--

I'll go dig out the cauldron....and gather the posse... :D

There's enough of us to be a posse?

That's the 13th, isn't it Carl? Not sure I'll be able to get along to that one in the evening, more's the pity. Have to check.
