I have now been living in 'Ty Canol' for almost a year now. How time flies! Now that my studio is reasonably organised I'm going to participate in the Crickhowell and Area 'Art Trail of Open Studios and Galleries'. This is a great event arranged and facilitated by CRiC (Crickhowell Resource and Information Centre). Last year there were 31 venues taking part and by throwing open their doors to visitors showed what a rich and diverse art scene thrives in the Brecon Beacons! Click on 'Exhibitions' for more information.

Here's the long awaited Columbian Press! Designed by an American called George Clymer from Philadelphia in 1813. My press was built in London some time after 1817 when Clymer came to England to licence a number of firms to manufacture his press. The press is now operational!
