Going to Spain for June and July!!


I am going on a road trip to interview and photograph Master Craftsmen and women in their studios. On the back of our book project and the apprenticeship project, I thought it would be interesting to see how crafts are faring in other European countries. I was awarded a grant by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust and am being sponsored by the "Paradores" of Spain.

It is particularly gratifying that being Spanish, I will be able to interview everyone in their native language. You will be able to follow my trip on this blog.

Leaving date is June 3rd and returning in mid August! Itinerary to follow shortly.
