I think it may have gone up since last year as I don't think we could have afforded that either.

It really was worth the entry fee though. If memory serves we also got a cup of tea included :)

Hi,

Just a reminder that the open day is tomorrow (Saturday 7th), apologies I didn't mention entry fee- (I was invited as a guest) but I believe seniors and students are ?5 and children are free. The entry fee is tied up with being part of the National Trust, talk to Steve about it, he's very approachable and warm...

On a personal note, my mosaicing is going really well. There are some fabulous tutorials on YouTube and I am greatful to the Mind Charity shop at Goose Green, and the small St Christopher's Charity shop opposite co-op for their contributions.

If you're seeking materials too, the tile shop in Forest Hill (LHS before you get to the Horniman) has a crate outside of broken tiles where you can help yourself...

Donations welcome! (especially glass beads from necklaces and bracelets- the colours are wonderful!).

Cheers

I do recommend a visit to the House of Dreams, it's a lovely place. You can read a review about it here: http://dulwichonview.org.uk/2011/01/28/welcome-to-the-house-of-dreams/

Hey - if you can't make it today, I just found this YouTube video which gives you an idea of what it's all about >>>

i think the mosaic floor outside Blue Mountain is really great.

Hi

I think gray floor is better then others.

Fascinating & colourful but also kind of odd! I'd like to have a look out of curiosity!

Sadly I can't make the next (and final) open day, which incidentally appears to be on 7 September and not 1 Sept as quoted above :)

Steve's house is amazing and quite creepy (in a good way). Even if the entry fee is ?10, I recommend it unreservedly. And he is a lovely and vey interesting person.

There was to be a book coming out about the house, anybody know whether publication is likely to be soon?
