    I do so enjoy receiving these updates on your progress. It’s fascinating to see the processes involved in moving towards a finished piece.

    Thank you Kate but you were there as head camera person [even though you got a fit of the giggles]. Thank you also for your support and interest as we both travel along the path that is the BA in Contemporary Crafts.
