Opening of Pottery studio

The evening was a tremendous success. Even the 2 outbursts of rain did not damper the festive mood. Outside the drums of fire were kept burning and inside was packed with people. The atmosphere was just so "vibey" with all the creative people around from mouldmakers, canvass makers, a few famous painters, musicians, other potters and interior decorators. Over 50 full meals were served by The Pepper Tree and the bar was kept open until the wee hours.
Thank you to all the Philadelphians and visitors for your great support.
Ferdinand.
