Jan is doing it on her own because my bad back isn’t good enough to do a 5 day show at the moment (it started on Wednesday). Jan went down on Monday ready to set up at the crack of dawn on Tuesday.

Here are some stand photos. You may be able to see that we have switched back to my original hand prints, with quite a few new ones on display. We are just selling off the last few 100 x 50cm prints then they will be special order only, we won’t hold them in stock.

There are lots of my black and white pictures and quite a few of Jan’s colour prints, including some big ones. My books are available for a special price if you buy all 3.

RHS members can visit the show for free. The show opens at 9am and closes at 5pm Friday/Saturday and 4.30pm Sunday. Hope Jan sees you there!

The Buxton Beer Festival and a food and drink fair is also on at the same time, same place.

Here are some photos of our stand. It was setup day so there was no power in the marquee to brighten up the stand but we are at one end just inside the door so lots of daylight.

This is a brand new show and since it’s just over a half hour from home we’re hoping it’s going to be a good one! Fantastic setting right in front of Chatsworth House. So far so good!

Our stand has lots of my big hand prints, which we seldom take to shows in Derbyshire. All the framed prints are hand prints too. Lots of small prints too. In all over 400 prints to look through. Of course we also have a selection of Jan’s colour photos too. Prints from £5 to £500. All 3 of my current books are here too for the special price of £20 instead of £45.

The first day was today. Unfortunately there’s no  3Mobile phone signal so I was unable to pick up or send any social media posts during the day. Hence the tardy posting for today.

There were lots of traffic problems and we spoke to many visitors who had been delayed by 2 or 3 hours. Ouch! That’s quite a delay. Sounds like things should be better for tomorrow but may be a good idea to leave early.

The show has sold out so if you don’t have a ticket already you won’t get in.

The post Last Show of 2016, Craft in Focus at RHS Wisley appeared first on Dave Butcher.

We are in the process of reducing the size of the prints that we take to shows so the prices of the 100 x 50cm and 70 x 50cm prints are reduced considerably. We also have 5 prints, including 3 hand-printed originals, in wide profile frames that we no longer stock and these too are reduced in price. Included in these are several London shots as well as Paris, Berlin, Venice, Rome, New York and a couple of wintry tree-filled landscapes.

We also have several  triptychs of London, Paris and Rome at £95 and a smaller one at £55 of the UK 3 Peaks, if you know anyone who has recently completed this challenge this could make a thoughtful present. Lots of smaller prints from £5 to £20 too. My 3 current books, City Light, Land Light and Snow Light, are also available.

Jan has quite a few of her colour images on display too.

So lots to see on our stand and there are also lots of other exhibitors selling a huge variety of hand made designer products.
