I went to the 'LJ Millington Silversmith' to find out more about what it's like being a craftsman and about the Silversmith buisness. Steve Millington, the manager and owner, gave me a tour of his workshop and told me all about his job as a Silversmith. I hope you enjoy my blog!

I attended the Sketchbook Workshop at the National Art Gallery. This workshop is unique because here the artist takes you around four famous artwork and talks about not only the painting but also the background story behind the work & probably the state of mind of the artist.
