Collecting Grape Prunings
26th August, 2012It ‘s the end of August and we head up to Neudorf Vineyards Rosedale Block to collect grape pruning’s to fashion into xmas wreaths and vine wrapped xmas trees. Theres something strangely theraputic about standing in the middle of the vineyard with snow on the mountains and a fresh breeze coming down the valley. I relish this time of the year to breathe in the fresh air and take stock of life and the creative juices start to flow thinking about new products and new sculpture.
