A few more notes from London trip, before it's all forgotten. We had busybusy days: Hidden Art, organisation promoting design and craft, office close to the Geffrye museum. The museum shows historical domestic interiors as well as modern design, and has a nice cafe and garden.
Tube transport and London weather walk over the bridge to OXO Tower Wharf with all the designer studios/shops and a quick look at ongoing exhibitions.
After visiting Victoria & Albert, spending too much time in the museum shop and after visit at Flow Gallery, we thought we were in a big hurry to make it to Contemporary Applied Arts in time, fifteen minutes to closing!
It was our lucky day, they had an opening that night, Hue Line & Form. Instead of late, 15 minutes early, got a chance to meet curators, Brian Kennedy and Peter Ting, who put together the show in two parts for CAA, read more here. Excellent artists and crowded opening, we enjoyed.
My favourite work from the show: collaborative work by Malcolm Martin and Gaynor Dowling
CAA shows member's work and have an excellent little book shop, too.
London Eye, after all, we are tourists. I loved the ride!

It´s really a nice thing, even if I dont have a blogg, I like the thought of giving and reciving a hand made pice. Nice we should be doing that a lot more. The more you give, the more you recive. or?

The difficult thing to learn is to give without expectations of getting something back, this is a good practice! Enjoy your day too!
