| Tamworth Tamworth - TBA | Well my contribution is complete, attended a local mother and baby club and turned it into an instructional lesson to show then the basic dog then some slightly more complicated ones they can do themselves, finishing with some of my own work for the moms and baby's.
Seems they want me back in the future so all seems well. Really enjoyed the time I spent with them, tanks for the opportunity. Next year I'll go for something more dramatic and higher quality to get the message out there.
Hopefully it will now appear in the county council new letter distributed to all homes in the country. (with photos) Participating artists: Phil Walker | Phil Walker |
