We thought we’d take a day trip from Valencia and chose Buñol as it was a short train journey and the reviews looked like it would be interesting. The journey out took longer as we had to make a change and got marooned at a small station (with a very long platform) in the middle […]

I haven’t been doing sculpture for very long, a few months, but I’m really enjoying the creative process. It all started when I was visiting my young nephew who had some DAS clay that we both played with for an afternoon. The bug had bitten. Next stop more DAS clay on a lazy holiday on
