Ahhhh! Last full week here in Bridge Street and last full week to prepare for the ROGHA exhibition. Funny how things digress from the expected. I thought my month here in Dundalk would be spent concentrating purely on getting ready for Echoes Exhibition, but this hasn’t been the case. Thanks to open studios and my blog posts I secured a number of lovely millinery commissions that took over.
Still I got to meet some lovely new customers and potential clients. Best laid plans and all that jazz!
This leaves me with just a week to gather together the myriad of ideas bouncing off my brain and get cracking on Echoes final pieces. Sad that by the end of the week I’ll be packing up my studio and moving back to Gullion. I found that the time I spent in a dedicated space away from home was more concentrated, less distractions and a different dynamic. It was wonderful to be surrounded by other artists, get their feedback and valuable advice.
So I’ll make the most of the time I have left and get cracked by in preparation for the launch on Friday the 5th August.
