Summer is always the most active time for everybody to go out, to catch up with friends or to explore. We did all of these in Nottingham during the Patchings Art Festival in the middle of July.
The first day started very early, many visitors came to our standard before 10 o’clock to see and select the expertly handmade watercolours in person.
After a busy day, we went to Nottingham Centre to explore the oldest pub, Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. It’s just what you did on a hot day sitting in a pub built in a stone cave and sip a pint of refreshing cask ale.
Like many others, artist, Anjana Cawdell, came to select her favourite colours. All of the A J Ludlow Professional Watercolours were very inviting; she had a hard work to make decision.
During the Art Festival, we invited some artists to do demos and talking about how A J Ludlow Professional Watercolours enhanced their artworks.

It’s great to meet new people and catch up with old friends. We had so many interesting conversations with visitors, listening to their stories of using A J Ludlow Professional Watercolours.
