Boat Building Academy projects at the Art in Action show, Oxfordshire

[ad name=”intheboatshed-post”]

This year’s Art in Action show at Waterperry, near Wheatley in Oxfordshire, takes place from the 15th to 18th July.

If you’re in the area, it might well be worth dropping by, for this year the woodworking section of this exhibition of art and craftsmanship includes exhibits from the Boat Building Academy folks at Lyme.

I’m rather tickled by the organisers’ description of the BBA as a ‘young very hands-on academy in Dorset‘. I wonder if they’ve noticed how many more mature as well as young students find themselves at home at the Academy each year?

I’m afraid that they didn’t include any detail about the boat in the photo above – perhaps someone can fill us in please? As always, I’m at gmatkin@gmail.com.

Peter Worlock – see the comments below – knows the show well and says he cannot recommend it highly enough. Sounds good to me…

PS – I’m sorry about by long silence and the delays in posting some stories recently – we’re just coming to the end of ten days during which we’ve had a intermittent and very slow  Internet connection.
