CCA/Peter Blake Art Bus at The Lord Mayor's Parade

We had the best time, despite the weather, on the CCA Art Bus. Unfortunately Sir Peter Blake was poorly but his wife Chrissy and the crew from CCA Galleries sang along to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as we waved to thousands of spectators who lined the route. It was a very special day seeing the streets of London's City from such a different perspective. If you want to see us you can on the BBC link; http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00nxkdj/The_Lord_Mayors_Show_2009/?t=34m48s

Chris Mitton at the Zetter

We have just installed Chris Mitton's beautifully carved sculptures in the cabinets of the Zetter Hotel in Clerkenwell. They are hand carved from carrara marble and include the 'Re-valued Series' which recreates life size throw away objects such as coffee cups and coke cans. It's also a great place to go for Sunday Brunch...
