New Blog for Sulis Art and Craft Collective

Sulis Art & Craft Collective set up it’s very own blog site !

I choose to write in this lively colour today because it is the colour of Elaines hair, the first thing that struck me when I met her in the Sulis Design Center last year. Elaine is the manager of our project and we are all indebted to her for her vision and hard work in making the project a reality.

I do not calim to be an expert in blogging by any stretch of the imagination, but I offered to share my little bit of knowledge.  So off we went and set up the blog.  I am hoping that all ten artists will contribute and interact with eachother and the world wide web via our blog.  So to practice what I preached, I am going to add the Sulis Blog to my blogroll and get things moving!  And I am inviting all you Suliseens to get blogging and spread the word.

There are ten ‘crazy artisans’ in the group….and we say crazy ’cause of the economic times during which we choose to set up our collective gallery in Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan.  But hey we are creative people, why would be sit back and let the ecomonic woes of the world swamp us?
