maxine sutton

I have long been a fan of Maxine Sutton's wonderful work,
so imagine my delight when we ventured off to Whitstable and
Margate for a little run out and stumbled upon her
beautiful shop, Blackbird, in Margate Old Town. The shop has a fantastic mix of Maxine's work and carefully selected contemporary crafts and covetable loveliness.
She also has a studio/workshop upstairs and hosts creative courses.
Go visit Blackbird and Margate soon. It's going to be fabulous in a few days or so after the new Turner Contemporary Gallery opens on saturday.

It was lovely to meet you Maxine

Tiny city of skyscrapers

I'm in awe of this wonderful creation. A tiny metropolis made entirely out of staples. Artist Peter Root carefully placed 100,000 pieces of the tiny metal staples into tall building-like blocks. Absolutely amazing!
