Getting quite excited, only one day left until my very first visit to Art in Action. I know lots of people who have been before and it comes highly recommended!
Established in 1977, (I was only 11 years old then!) the four day event continues to grow in success. Hosted by Waterpenny House, near Oxford, I hear it is very well run, well attended and has an amazing atmosphere.
This year it starts Thursday 21st July and continues until Sunday 24th July.

The programme looks stunning with over 170 artists from various disciplines, demonstrating their skills and over 100 artists/designers/makers selling their work in the market. Then there is the house and gardens, a variety of live music and dance performances, story telling etc........ I know one day will not be long enough!!
I'm particulalry looking forward to seeing textile artists Dionne Swift, Roanna Wells and Pat Hodson as well as the installation by Rebecca Glover, glass by Rachel Welford and Paperworks/books by Sarah Morpeth.
Oh and not forgetting the artist who gave me my very first job - David Firmstone!
My mouth is watering with the thought of so much creativity in one place!
