February Guest Exhibition

“Between a Rock and a Soft Place”

1st February - 2nd March

A solo exhibition by Chrissie Thompson from the Pigsty Studio in Herefordshire.
A profuse and expressive artist working mainly in acrylics and mixed media, influenced by the contrasting hard and soft landscapes of the wild west coast of Cornwall and the drama of the Welsh Marches.

Chrissie uses a pallet knife, and a soft dry brush to achieve a blend of texture and softness, painting in her studio at the bottom of the garden with views of the Skirrid, Garway Hill and Hay Bluff as a backdrop.
She also paints en plein air on the rocky coast of Cornwall and the gentler landscapes of Devon.

December Guest Exhibition

The December exhibition is by the Blackwood Art Group.

Starting in 2005 with a small group of artists meeting in Blackwood, the group has continued to develop and grow into a diverse and dynamic group of like-minded people that it is today.

Members come from a wide geographical area and they encourage and promote experimentation with a wide variety of techniques and mediums. Workshops, demonstrations, gallery visits, holding exhibitions are all part of the group’s activities.

Their success comes from being an inclusive and welcoming group, using the knowledge and expertise of our many talented members, to help and encourage others in developing their work.

November Guest Exhibition

For November’s exhibition, we have a collection of work comprising glass by Black Cat designs (Becci Meakins), textiles by Lyn Clarke, enamels by Jeanette Hannaby and turned wood by Paul Hannaby.

Becci’s glass is vivacious and loud and often combined with subtle texture. Her work is as inspiring as it is colourful.

Lyn’s textiles and bold use if colour are inspired by her early years in the tropics and influences from Bauhaus, art deco and Sonia Delauney.

Jeanette’s enamels are inspired by her connection with nature and the environment she loves to spend time in.

Paul’s turned work is inspired by his affinity with wood and it’s infinite variations of character and warmth.

We hope the exhibition has something for everyone, We would welcome your visit.
