What a fantastic week! The highlight was a ‘magical mystery tour’ to the heart of rural West Sussex, where I met talented ceramicist and landscape artist Sian van Driel in this absolutely jaw-dropping location.
It’s the first time that Sian has exhibited both her atmospheric paintings and ceramics in her studio. I can honestly say, when she pulled back both doors of the ancient barn to reveal the captivating view out over the rolling South Downs, I was speechless – quite a novelty!
Sian’s time-warp studio and the beautiful, peaceful gardens right next door are open from 11am to 5pm until Sunday, July 3, and I can definitely recommend a visit.
The address is Harwards Green Farmhouse, Stopham, near Pulborough. It’s a little tricky to find but, if you need directions, Sian’s number is 07791 245673.
Apart from visiting Sian, I’ve been out taking snaps at a wonderful coastal home renovation, writing features and spreading good news to a homeowner who is thrilled that her pretty cottage will soon be appearing in a national interiors magazine.
Hope your week has been a busy one too, and that the sun shines on all of us this weekend. Have a great one.
