Well, it's me not having time to look at the stunningly perfect gardens at West Dean College, on possibly their most perfect time of the year -- espalier peach and fig trees to die for -- but no time to dwell, because on a weekend course called 'Blast and Scratch It' -- i.e. sandblasting and engraving. Here they have a sandblaster that actually works. You don't have to twist yourself into back-ache to do it. I experimented with marbling effects (like book endpapers) on 9 small bits of flash glass. Then did my Graal egg. Whole thing inspirational; fab teaching; wonderful surroundings; learned a lot.
