Forge 2 Gallery and Shop

The Forge 2 Gallery in Culworth Village was visited by me and the rest of the FdA today, we met with a woman called Debbie McCullough. We where told all about the great work that goes on the the gallery. The Forge 2 gallery and shop only stocks products which have been made in the British Isles which makes it very good for the local craft/artists. Forge 2 hold work shops which can teach people some skills they may not of been able to gain originally. As we walked in we were welcomed with a drink which I was told was as a thank you for coming out to see the gallery with was in my mind very kind and made me feel like I was at home. There was also a log burner on the back wall which was a nice touch to the space and i was lovely to sit around as we was speaking to Debbie McCullough about what happens at the Forge 2. I really liked my experience at the gallery and i would suggest it to any local craft/artists who wish to see more local art or maybe get theirs out there.

Redundancy

Redundancy: The attribute of being superfluous and unneeded.Well thats what I thought redundancy ment till I was made redundent.

Yesterday ( 3rd October 2011) I was called into work for a staff meeting I guessed it was because we where all meeting the new area manager. We all filed into the stock room a  work friend said before we went in, that they had shut the shop half an hour early. He told us that in under a month we would shut up shop for good, ofcourse we where shocked and upset.
The fact I was going to lose my job didn't worry me it was the fact that after the end of month I would never be able to work with this group of friends ever again.

The second picture is of a pebble off a beach in Aberystwyth the drawing was with charcoal on tracing paper.
