This is a must if you're in Newcastle, I just wish I could go.
Our Ouseburn Open Studios is on the last weekend of November this year.
It’s a rare opportunity to see inside the studios & to buy direct from the artists and designers. I will have paintings, handmade limited edition prints & handmade books for sale.

@gargarin.bsky.social I've just remembered that you were in my dream last night. I was really excited that I'd found a cool brutalist town postcard and I was going to send it to you!

Gene were really great last night. Tight musically and just banger after banger. They're doing a short tour next year and you should definitely go and see them.
#gene Fabulous to see Gene again! They were totally on the money. Olympians, even.
