Tis the season to be jolly...
Rosie, the owner of the Spencer Cameron Art Gallery, moi, Carla Astaphan of The Potter's House, Leonie of Glass Island, Leonie of Sugar Mill Gallery, Lorenza Southwell who manns the shop daily, and The Crafthouse staffer were all on hand for Rosie's traditional year end party and opening of the new initiative at this location. The permanent display of art, pottery, glass and other crafts at the old Georgian styled building on Independance Square, in Basseterre, St. Kitts better known as Spencer Cameron Art Gallery. The doors were thrown open on Saturday 12 December 2009 from midday so that friends and well-wishers, many of whom have been on Rosie's list of invitees for years could mill through the space, chat, enjoy, admire and hopefully buy the works on display. It was a fairly successsful activity. And many visitors gave encouraging words for the future of this enterprise, while others also showed their support through the actual purchase of pieces.
One of the main topics of discussion was the beehive which has developed in the roof of the upstairs of the building. It was been inspected by the local bee guru. There is a pane of clear glass over it, so there are no bees flying around....although a note has been posted on the wall to warn visitors.
An array of tasty h'orderves were served, along with popular local Chrismas drink of Sorrel, rum punch, wine and a tasting of a creamy liquer by a local company, Rams. There was also a cash bar.
The party ended at just about 6.30pm. An exhausting but profitable and enjoyable exercise!!!
