Bristol
I attended a Craft and Flea Craft fair Bristol in March 2025. I drew an illustration of some of the history of this important port city to make into prints.
It took quite a time to work out what to put in and what to leave out, but I am happy with the mixture of past, present and a more hopeful future.
