Relaxed day peddling around the shores of Lake Biwa. Pretty traditional houses and quiet streets. Last day of an amazing week. Heading out to collect my work shortly. It has been a great privilege to exhibit with eminent artisans. Early train to Arashiyama - just Wow! Kyoto Kogei: Connecting the World Went looking for kimonos in Kyoto and found a brilliant shopping centre - pack with people, fabulous atmosphere! Kyoto by e-bike - so much fun! Kyoto - just arrived for the Kogei: Connecting the World with Claudia Luque and Helen Leaf SDC members @societyofdesignercraftsmen_sdc. I’m so happy to be in this beautiful country, exhibiting alongside traditional artisans. Many plans for the next ten days including a tea ceremony and exhibition party at the Irish Pub… On my way to Kyoto tomorrow for Kogei: Connecting the World. Very excited and all packed and ready. Will be joining Claudia and Helen. I am very excited to be going to Kyoto in November to exhibit my new work!
