Cat's Eye Carving

Le Weekend

In between my South East Open Studios weeks was the wonderful Le Weekend throughout Sandwich.

The Sandwich Medieval Centre hosts a Medieval encampment on the Quay Green during this time and you are transported back to medieval times.

Axe throwing, knights and archery, medieval puppetry, displays and living history. I was in my trader’s tent outside the medieval centre, working on the grotesque for the Maison Dieu. I spoke to so many interested visitors, explaining about what I do and my project with this historic building.

My Mum helped me and we spoke to about 500 people over the whole weekend. I had my Wyvern carving for the Maison Dieu and children were excited to know that they were some of the first ones to take a rubbing.

My next event is the Staple country Fayre on Sunday 25th June.
