A shed load of volunteers descend on Shed 2 Studios to help out the injured weaver.
As you all may know, I had an accident last week which crushed my finger and left it very difficult to weave and work in general, and I was rewarded this week with many volunteers who have rallied to my plight to finish my work in time for the Chelsea Flower Show.
Derby Uni student Lorraine did a great job finishing off my metal work by bending all the rods that house my woven willow spheres. Gardener Oliver gave a hand with some painting to finish off the shed. My Dad arrived to fit shelving in the shed and hang my new signs. But the biggest thanks goes to Ryan the carpenters apprentice, who is kindly on loan from the wood work studio next door. He has been so helpful with loads of things, linseed oiling the finished sculptures, filling the willow soak and preparing willow, weaving some of the new raised beds and a whole host of things that I am struggling to do.
It’s great to know that when disater strikes there are people that drop everything to help, with all this help I am sure everything will be ready for Chelsea.
Thanks also to Iain for coming to my rescue, getting me to the hospital and looking after me, your care is very much appreciated.
