I'm back from Manchester where I've been exhibiting at the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair. The show is held in the most spectacular locations - Victoria Baths, an old Edwardian swimming baths turned event space. The red brick building is full of colourful tiling, rusty metalwork and swimming pool furniture, whilst the backdrop to my stand was a beautiful stained glass window.
