April is the time of year I get out and about to see what creatives and artists in York have been up to. 100 odd sites across the city allow you to see what other people do in terms of painting, sculpting, ceramics, printing and generally craft work of some sort.
It is also possible to see the places where these works of art are created and chat with the artists themselves about their thinking and ideas.
They often show their methods, tools and also records.
As it happened we had an old guide book so the tour was a bit of a voyage of discovery- yet it meant we saw people and art we had not planned to. Some of it was not only a surprise but very enjoyable to discover. And as usual we got lost in the backstreets of York.
All in all it usually results in me feeling a bit expansive, what could I do in the way of arts and craft?
At least it’s a cheering and pleasurable event in what is proving to be a fairly miserable Spring.

Always interesting to see new crafts, and sounds like you had a good time.

Hi Dave, yes it’s always worth looking over the fence so to speak and especially as we operate in a very product driven hobby. It’s sometimes easy to forget that you can make just about anything.
