Queen's Park Open Gardens and Studios

15/6/2014

0 Comments

 
This event has been running for some 12 years and is very popular with locals and some not so locals.  Gardens and studios were thrown open to the public, many of whom stoically went round all the venues, often with children in tow.  This year there were invitingly beautiful lawns, trees, plants and ornaments and, in the studios, paintings, prints, ceramics, glass, furniture and textiles.

I shared an airy garage with the talented printmaker, Ruth Kitching, and our work complemented each other well.  I showed some framed work as well as quilts, textile bowls and fabric covered notebooks.

We had well over 100 visitors in the five hours we were open and it was a real pleasure explaining my creative processes to the curious.  Although it was chilly, the rain held off for the entire day and for the closing party in the Tea Garden.

This was my first participation in the event and I was made to feel very welcome - it was just lovely.

Here are three examples of hexagonal bowls - I loved making them.  I also showed square and round bowls, all very popular.

Open Studio - afterwards

The Open Studio event was a great success with over 150 visitors, great comments and all artists selling their work. 

I so enjoyed meeting new people that there wasn't the time to take my own photographs.  However, Margaret Cooter was much more organised than I was and has posted lovely pictures on her blog, which you can see by clicking on the link below.

We are now thinking about the next event...

Four artists - Margaret Cooter, Tony Wallis, Mark Tamer and I - are having an open studio event on the weekend of 21-22 June 2013 showing textiles, mixed media work, photographs and hand-made books. 

It would be lovely if you were able to come and meet us and see our recent creations.

Margaret Cooter paints with fabric and scissors, and draws with thread and needles, and also makes sculptural book-objects from various materials. www.margaretcooter.co.uk

Tony Wallis's photography shows great variety, but his favourite subject is landscape. His experimental style has won him prizes in prestigious competitions. www.tonywallisphotography.com

Mark Tamer has a very graphic style, creating simple, stunning photographs that would look great on anyone’s wall. www.marktamer.co.uk

Sabi Westoby creates works inspired by the natural and man-made worlds by combining paper and textile, paint and stitch, collage and applique.
