One of the most exciting recent events has been our first creative course to be run at the gallery. Dominic Hopkinson, a sculptor with over 20 years experience working in stone, hosted two weekends of 'Sculpture in Stone' in a cattle shed at the Lund.
Since opening the Gallery we have been keen to host creative events in the space here at the gallery, and so it was wonderful to see this finally kick off and listen to the tapping of metal into stone for hour after hour... I'm sure we'll try and lure Dominic back for some events next year.
Lund Gallery is currently featuring ceramics by Kate Wickham at Gallery. Kate came up from London to be present at the opening, which gave many people a chance to have a chat about her work and career... which was much appreciated.

The other big news is that, with the weather starting to cool off, I have re-lit the boiler. It's a 40kW woodchip and log boiler imported from Denmark, and it caused months of teething problems when we first sparked it up in January. So far this week, it seems to be burning well. Actually, the colder the weather the better the boiler runs; it has most problems when it is trying to 'tick-over'... tending to burn back up into the fuel hopper which causes the whole system to flood itself. Fingers crossed for the next few weeks!
