I am delighted to be a member of the recently rebranded Horsham Artists group and support their annual 'main event' the Art Fair in Horsham in October.
I have shown and sold my mosaics at a great variety of local events over the last 6 years including participation in the West Chiltington Village Show; Sussex Praires Unusual Plant and Arts Fair; New Horizons Garden and Local Produce Fair in aid of St Catherine's Hospice ; Horsham Artists Art Fair; Horsham Artists Art Trail; Henfield Arts & Crafts Fairs; ABC Animal Sanctuary Christmas Fair; Horsham Museum; West Chiltington & Nutbourne Open Gardens and at Billingshurst Chapel for a fundraising event.
Outdoor events are always a challenge and I have experienced both extremes - cold with torrential rain and baking hot sunshine - neither ideal for standing all day in a gazebo!! Indoor events now have more appeal. It is always a pleasure though to meet many interesting people along the way, thanks to everyone who visited and of course especially to those who chose to buy a mosaic!
Mosaics are a hobby for me, rather than a business, and I plan to participate in just one or two local sales a year. However, 2020 is going to be a year of learning new skills, so for now the only commitment I have made is to take part in the West Chiltingon Open Gardens event the weekend of 20/21 June. Details nearer the time.
