The latest news from the Gallery

After a busy Christmas period it is now time to think about the coming year.  In addition to the exhibitions mentioned below many local artists have their work on show in the Gallery at the moment I have work by Janet Rogers, Liz Garnet and Dianne Griffiths. We also have ceramics by Tony Benham, Tracy Covell  and Mary Sampson, and knitted silver jewellery by Gill Bridgestock and the very unusual  work of Marieka Cavell using such item as spoons, knives and forks.

Exhibitions for 2008

Siddy Langley Glass – Siddy has held several very successful exhibitions at the Gallery in past years and I am sure that her new exhibition will be well received once again.  Siddy is working  on some new ideas for this years exhibition, the pieces I have seen are of excellent quality, Siddy never ceases to find new inspiration for her work, as well as producing new pieces of her very popular iridescent work.

Siddy will of course be present for the preview evening on Friday 11^th April (any wish to attend please contact me to arrange for an invite).  Siddy will also be here to meet the public on Saturday 12th April.

Glazed Art (formerly Living Glaze) – Glazed Art combine the work of Alan Clarke and Lise B Moorcroft.  Alan set up Living Glaze with Mark Nixon after leaving Poole Pottery during a period of uncertainty within the company and has now been joined in his venture Lise B.  As well as many of the popular ranges of   work by Glazed Art there will be several ltd editions and one offs exhibited either one of the artists or Sales Director Mark Nixon will attend the exhibition with demonstration pieces to explain the processes involved in the design and making of the work.

I am still in the process of arranging another exhibition for late August-September and then there will be an exhibition as part of the Canterbury Festival in October, for which I have a possible theme, more of that will be revealed in subsequent newsletters.
