What an amazing first week of the E17 Art Trail. My only complaint is that it is going too fast- my fear of missing out has not abated. I feel as if I am cramming for an exam. I have realised that the best approach is to pick a few things and immerse yourself properly in them. At one point I was even in someone’s bath tub! But more about that later...

undiscovered gem. Stepping up to take the final food demonstration slot of the
weekend she shone a much needed light on the much underrated magic to be found
in a simple allotment. Having thought I knew something about produce, Kristen’s
45 minute slot blew me away with so many amazing and interesting discoveries.

As the strands of Appetite, E17 Art Trail and Cultivate grew
together in Artillery Island’s marquee, the Waltham Forest Cultivate Summer Produce Show took shape on the Saturday. Proud gardeners were invited to submit their
precious produce under one of three headings:
Homegrown produce
Preserved produce
Ingenius Planters

Ru, from Organiclea, bravely took to the stage as the first demonstration and "act" of the day.
He shone light on the mysterious world of
creating your own wine. It seems though some might have experimented with their
own mini microbrewery fermenting away in their garden, wine has more finesse
and intrigue surrounding it.

Sadly I haven’t had as much time this year compared to last
year for seeing as many venues and meeting as many artists as I would have liked. I did my best though to fit in as many as I could in the final afternoon though.
Here’s a quick round up of my manic run around Walthamstow

the maze like warren of City Studios, discovering stone carvers, painters,
jewellers and in one case lured by the smell of toasting bread, a collage

from Bow. I was intrigued and made sure I could go. I was not disappointed!
Katja’s genuine warmth radiated out from her quirky home onto the roof garden
filled with an assortment of fat pot plants and laden with German treats of
cheese and cookies.
