An artist hanged himself after no one attended the launch of his new art project, an inquest heard.
Stuart Bennett, 58, organised an opening day at his studio on September 5 last year, as he wanted to start teaching art to children.
But the event clashed with the town's horticultural show - and nobody came, an inquest at Macclesfield Town Hall heard.
A cleaner discovered Mr Bennett's body at the studio on Palmerston Street, Bollington, at 4pm the next day, according to the Manchester Evening News.
He had left a handwritten note, artwork and a heart-shaped chocolate on a desk.
Recording a verdict of suicide, coroner for Cheshire Nicholas Rheinberg said: "Such was his enthusiasm he galloped away with the project rather than plan it in care and detail.
"He changed the date of the open-day and it clashed with the horticultural show.
"It must've been quite a blow when the day came and went and not a single person attended."
Mrs Gretton-Wright, an acquaitance said they went for a coffee and a walk after the failed open day, before Mr Bennett took a takeaway back to the studio at around 8.30pm and planned to stay the night there.
She said: "He wasn't used to no one turning up.
"In Congleton he had a following, hangers on.
"He was taken back by the disappointment but after our walk had snapped out of it.
"Stuart was very restless.
"He always had a project on the go in order to feel valuable.
