Hi, folks!, It’s me, Geoff, looking after the shop. This week our guest host is Stephen Shirres. His inspiration has come from Lego, one of the most brilliant toys ever created, and also one of the most painful if you have ever trodden on one […]

RESULTS – Microcosms 25
Many thanks to our judge A.J. Walker for judging this week’s competition, here’s what he had to say: Well, it’s been an exhausting and quite depressing time in England for the last few days. For some of us. Exciting and unbelievably good for others. So […]
