Rook Lane will be open on 18th from 0100 -1700hrs for hanging and arranging. If you have forgotten what the space there looks like you can see it on the Rook Lane Arts website, or on my facebook page (Mel Sewell) in the 'Rook Lane with numbersalbum. The hanging mechanism is J-Rail, See above. Please arrive as early as possible so that we don't have a last- minute rush. Don't forget the PV is the same evening at 1800hrs.
If you haven't started to book space with me, then I suggest you do so as soon as possible. If there aren't enough applicants from Frome I will have to throw it open to a wider catchment area.

Zac's workshop - a new way to look at rubbish.
Elephants made from milk bottles, gold trees from saw dust to abstract seas from coke cans we will be making works of art from rubbish! After this class you will look at rubbish in a totally different way. Bring along your cleaned rubbish and we will discover exciting ways to turn it into something all your friends will admire.
"I usually go into primary schools where I have the support of other teachers. In this instance I would be happy to look after 12 kids on my own providing that there is parental supervision. My rate is £20 per person."www.zacgreening.com

Catchup
More exhibitors are contacting me by the day and the PROPER WEBSITE for the EXHIBITION at www.fromedecorativeartsexhibition.co.uk is now begining to look healthy with yer actual images of exhibitors.
Of course it would be great if you would now all inundate me with 5 images and 4 line biog. Why? Need I remind you that times are tough. How much wok have you sold in the past 24 months? So we all know that we have to run FOUR TIMES HARDER just to keep standing still. The exhibition blogsite is being publicised to 30 publications/media over the next few months, as well as 30 London Galleries. So this is all FOR YOU.
MAKE THE MOST OF IT.

Gallery open until 2 Dec but not open 20/21 and 27/28. Rook Lane have told me that they will not have the gallery open on Sundays. I think this is bonkers. If you agree please let me know and I'll see if I can twist their arm.

Frome Decorative Arts Exhibition – where its at
Dear Participant
Before August 7th I will need to get a press release out to the monthly magazines for their November/December issues. Attached you will see my media list.
Sally Shalam (ex Guardian Travel Writer and now living in Frome) has helped me with an outline, also see attached.
If you are still interested in participating at the exhibition I would like to ‘Headline’ you, with the others in the outline, as well as send the media a collage of images , which would include a representative piece of work from you.
In addition, sometime in the next few weeks I would like to put up a band new website giving a four line outline and five images to each exhibition participant.
Please reply with utmost urgency.
Best regards
