The Square Pegs do Christmas

Square Pegs do Christmas at Cardigan Guildhall Gallery 5th-17th December

Just like this dog walker by Sue Bain,  we're all wrapped up and ready for the annual Square Pegs Christmas exhibition running from 4th-17th December in the Cardigan Guildhall Gallery.  The usual Square Pegs suspects will be showing their work  (Glenn Ibbitson, Carole King, Annie Coombs and Yvette Brown) alongside a delightful selection of fine art from Lola Chapman, Zara Kuchi and Helen Rowlands, ceramics from Sue Hanna, Sheila Hickey and Hilary Coole, glass from Moriath Glass, Sue Bain's wirework, textiles by Holly Hart, photography and design from Mary Thorp and - wait for it - chocolate from Botanics Chocolate!  Oh, and there will be a very big Christmas tree too.  Come along and see if we can solve a Christmas present dilemma or two.

'A Cosy Christmas'

The challenge comes around yet again to produce a new design for 'The Christmas Card'. Last year we snowed in down in Kent at  the critical moment and the card never happened but this year everything has gone smoothly and I went in to production early enough for the ink to be dry before they go into envelopes and a second design is even possible.

 There is even a second version for those who like to choose their own colours for their cards.
 Both versions available to purchase on Nant Designs at Folksy
