#17 Glastonbury Abbey

What does one do when their tonsils have been removed?... go on a wee trip to Glastonbury.

As you do

#16 Summer house

This is where I have spent the last week revising...or attempting too. I really want one!

#15 The Holburne Museum, Bath

I managed to visit the museum very quickly on Monday and I took a few photos of the outside. It was really busy and I didn't have time to check out Karen Wallis' exhibition, but I will later in the week.

Eric Parry Architects - Eric Parry is giving a talk Monday 23rd at the museum

#14 Healthy Office - A Vision for Coleford

This is a recent image for my final design studio project titled 'Healthy Office - A new vision for Coleford'. I had to produce a killer image to bring the whole project together. I used black fine liner 0.3, black ink, yellow water colour and water to blend the inks together. To get a bleeding effect, you wet the cartridge paper first and then add on the water colour. A nice and simple way to add shadow and depth to your drawing, is to bleed out a line drawing using water. 

#13 The 9mile journey

A friend and I hopped onto our bikes, once we figured out how to fit the bike carrier on the car and headed to Bradford on Avon from The George in Bathampton. Little did we know the length we would cycle! 9 miles in total, but it was totally worth the pain. We pedalled away along the canal, taking in the idyllic views and came across around twenty horses all drinking from the rivers edge. 

It was a perfect moment and took a few pictures. We rode past Warley Weir in Limpley Stoke and headed to our first stop the Angelfish Cafe (The chicken and grape baquette is a favourite!!). Our next stop was another pub, which was full of people all enjoying the sun! We finally made it to Braford on Avon, where we managed to get a spot at a pub and enjoyed some good food.


Around the corner from the pub, I showed my friend the tithe barn and the surrounding buildings. To our delight an ice-cream van was waiting for us!!

#12 Passion

On my home from work, I walked past the new retail shop The Loft in Bartlett Street and saw a window display of flowers and realised Passion was the latest company to become part of the store. The Loft is a lovely store which sells homeware, clothing (from different brands) and a cafe. And now you can purchase flowers all from under one roof. 

Bartlett street is one of Bath's hidden gems, with shops such as Mee Boutique, Toast, Antiques Centre, Artizan Hairdressers, Mauger Modern Art Gallery, Bertinet Kitchen, and Lighting Shop.

#11 The Holburne Museum

Sir Peter Blake 'A museum for myself'

This saturday marks the grand reopening of The Holburne Museum in Bath, with exhibitions from Sir Peter Blake and artist in residence Karen Wallis who documented the buildings change over three years.


Karen's work will be exhibited from saturday, which shows internal and external sketches of how the building has changed over time; an evolving artistic record. I recently contacted Karen about her thoughts on this modern intervention and she found the 'transition very positive'.

Check out the above video to see the vision proposed for the museum and decide for yourself what you think on saturday!
