It's been a while!

Hey all!
It's been waaay too long, which can hopefully only mean one thing... the gallery is becoming a roaring success! and no truer words were spoken.
Slowly but surely we are getting there on the map. Our final signs have all gone up and were well worth it, more people are finding us now, even I'm excited to say, tourists from out of the area, as far a field as Essex and Northumberland! With no family in the area, they have just discovered us themselves under their own steam, so the signs are definitely working and there is now no excuses for anyone who just doesn't know where we are!
A few changes have been made to the gallery now. Many new paintings and artists have joined us, and we have sold an impressive number of those that have been with us from the start. We have a new range of treen turned wood as well as patriotic based items such as wood carved and stone wear welsh dragons and love spoons.
We are also getting into the swing for christmas early as retail is where christmas happens first i hear. So more stock is always coming in, from stocking filler goodies, to blow out once in a lifetime gifts. We'll have it all.
August has been a phenomenal month and we look forward to the last run of the year but keep our fingers crossed for good weather as it only dampens spirits as well as everything else when its constantly raining!
Classes have been a huge success over the summer with a number of workshops and art club for kids. The resident Thursday group are going from strength to strength, trying new things and settling in to the areas they are good at. We have a new saturday art group now and I have the same aspirations for these determined individuals also, wish us luck!
