Kingsgate Studios Open weekend (and Politicians)

Kingsgate Studios

So I had to do a double take to verify that it is indeed a year since we went to our first Kingsgate Open Studio day (in West Hampstead) - which indeed it was.


The Studios are where one of Debbie's Weaving  course Tutors has a studio and there's a real mixture of media and styles on show - big favourite for me this time was the painting by Si Sapsford (below).




Si Sapsford work referencing Caravaggio's Supper at Emmaus - fantastic work


Now while Boris Johnson seems to have bottled out of his commitment (not too sure he has anything he won't compromise though?)  to oppose Heathrow expansion it was a delight to see Tulip Siddiq MP  addressing the crowd at the Kingsgate Open Studio Day (it's 40th) - here seemed an MP who cared about he community and spoke from the heart - what a contrast.

Not all London MPs are the same -Tulip Siddiq MP
