I have just delivered another stone pumpkin to Legacy Arts in Todmorden, in time for Halloween. Its my 6th stone pumpkin and it also converts into a candle holder. I chose a gritstone with a hich quarts crystal content so that it will sparkle in candle light. I've already roughed out number 7.

Its my last stall this weekend, for the summer anyway. And I won't be carving anymore planters in the future as I have now moving onto other things (including my pension).

Bad news and good news
I thought I’d let all my customers know that these will be my very last batch of unique stone planters. During a lull in planter sales last summer I had a go at ‘art’. Amazingly it sold, and kept selling, so now I have my stuff in two galleries locally (Tod and Hebden) and have taken part in an exhibition of local artists. And it’s still going strong with two more galleries wanting to see stuff (York and Whitby). So the current stall full of planters will be my last as I don’t intend to make any more. Instead I will focus on this opportunity of a lifetime, as an artist.
Thank you to all who supported my little business start-up in the middle of lockdown. You have enabled me to make this leap into the art world, using the skills I developed making planters, birdbaths and water features for you.
You can find me and my stall, this weekend, at Nanholme Mill, Shaw Wood Road, Todmorden, OL14 6DA. Approaching from Hebden it’s first left after the tip (bus shelter just before turn). Coming from Tod it’s first right after the two big laybys (just around the bend).
