WHAT A GREAT DAY - i was up early mounting prices on foamcore,
designing little posters etc and set to getting the back porch all sorted, the studio was already looking pretty
good :0)
Di arrived to help out so i went and tied a bunch of balloons on the front street post and headed to the studio to get set up for printing at 10.
no one came till after 11, i was beginning to think it was all for nought :0\ but then they arrived, in twos and fours, and it continued non stop till four. about 90 people i reckon, i printed all day and one demo of inking up a plate and applying the patterned paper and running through the press was about 10 minutes, just enough for a chat and a result to show. It all went smoothly, i sold some books and a pelican print and a few cards and got 12 prints done.

We finished up the day by getting together down at the lock lawns, everyone just spread out on the cool grass under the trees and had a bbq tea while the sun went down on a very successful day. everyone had a busy day, parking was nowhere to be had in the main street. A good day for Wentworth and the Makers.
