♦Festive weekend♦
November 16th and 17th: 10.30 – 4.00 pm
Fingers crossed for the weather. The spinners and weavers work will feature and we aim to exhibit it close to the hot refreshments – a tempting and dry space. Of course the garage sale will as always be creatively set out, with Xmas lights to further enhance the items.
Geoff is retiring next year but his beautiful wood work will be displayed in the studio space; while Amy’s metal work will be exhibited across the courtyard area.
We look forward to welcoming you all.
A flavour of Summer 2024
Exhibitions and Events 2024
Our summer opening was delightfully busy with returning visitors alongside many newbies. It was a pleasure to be able to present our two wild life charities with £550 each, they were thrilled. The homemade refreshments in conjunction with the garage sale really came up trumps, even though certain obscure items (e.g. the hostess trolley) took a while to find the right person for the sale!
Our banner attached to the front gate worked really effectively, providing a glimpse of what was to come.
More exhibitions:
In September/October my work featured in Bournemouth Arts Club 103rd Annual exhibition at the Gallery Upstairs, Upton Park, Poole.
In addition my work is currently hanging in Hyde Village Memorial hall, until November 23rd.
Current work – I have once again been walking the open forest spaces, aiming to respond to the atmosphere, the elements, and the vast expanse of it all. Views that seem to go on forever and how might it be possible to capture 360 degrees! A forthcoming challenge, fingers crossed, is to climb up into a hide and look down on it all. So far notes, drawings and photographs are very much in their early stages.
