The hanging

It is time to hang the works for the exhibition and previous experiences hanging have been arduous. It is difficult deciding which pieces to put together and how to arrange them so that they look good. When the pieces are from different artists and different styles it is even harder. This time I was as prepared as I could be with a handyman (thanks husband!) and a spotter (thanks Gerry!).

The handyman's job is to clamber on top of the step ladder and adjust the length of string and the position of the picture, armed with pliers and blutac. The spotter is to say 'up 4 in, left a bit,' etc.
As artistic director (ahem!), my job was to decide where each painting should go. And to organise other details while the cafe owners were handy.

Anyway it is all done now and in a record 2 hours. They look great so hopefully others will agree. Let the show begin!
