Everything is dropping into place for next weekend.

A growing number of people are interested.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is changing: at present cooler than today (Friday) but similar weather in the morning with a touch of rain in the afternoon, ! temps in the region of 14 deg C.

So we will be making items for the Gill 'Mural' - to go on the railings (or for Union Lane) - next Saturday 8th August from 11 am until 4 pm. We have tables ready to set up, with some shade, actually near the railings with the necessary basic clay and equipment, at the beginning of Gill Banks - just where the railings start, near the two benches, before the path divides.

There will be no charge unless something is made that is to be fired when the cost is £1 per pound weight to be paid at this time. It is anticipated that objects will be fired in time for the next session which will be a fortnight later when they could be mounted on the railings.

Those involved believe that even if there is a risk of the things they make being lost in any way, it will be worth it. My enjoyment comes from meeting and sharing ideas and making with others. If items survive any time; this is a bonus. My attitude is that something can always be made again and the next time, somewhat different ideas tried out. If damaged; Araldite works wonders!

All items will be movable without leaving any evidence of their mounting on the railings.
