I have answered the call for some contributors to this blog! My name is Helen Thompson, a mixed media artist, who lives in Shepton Mallet. I love my town and would like to encourage more people to visit and support it's small businesses, independent shops and creative people...
I already have a shared blog which shows the delights of walking in and around Shepton - walkthetalkshepton.blogspot.co.uk. The photograph above shows me on an early morning walk on high ground, overlooking Shepton. You can just see Glastonbury Tor in the background! I also have my own blog to showcase my artwork and the One Craft Gallery, which is a makers' co-operative that I belong to, situated in the centre of town. If you have an event coming up, or an interesting story to tell, and maybe some photographs, do contact me - details are on my blog - hmtmixedmedia.blogspot.co.uk. It doesn't have to be just in Shepton, as I shall be looking at creative people and happenings around Somerset...

Helen, wonderful to introduce you as a regular contributor / Blog Author for A Town in Somerset.Looking forward to reading your features.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to reading your posts! We took a trip up to Shepton Mallet's antique fair last month, but didn't venture into the town itself, although we did visit Frome, which I absolutely loved! Sharon x
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, yes Frome is great - a lot going on there at the moment! We are trying to get more people to visit Shepton! I shall be writing about the attractions in forthcoming posts. For instance, next door to the One Craft Gallery, which I am involved, with is Custard Pudding - a tearoom and art gallery which has just set up a flower shop in the basement!
