I am lucky enough to have been asked again this year to exhibit in Stavely Mill Yard Studios annual 'Small' exhibition. The preview is this Thursday December 1st 6-8pm. So if you are in Cumbria please do pop along...
1-23 December 2011 and 4-15 January 2012, Wedn
esdays-Sundays 11-4pm Twelve contemporary artists present recent work, much of it specially made for this show, including painting, collage, prints, ceramics, and sculpture. Once again, they've been selected because they are interested in stretching boundaries in ideas and practice. Some have international reputations, others are "emerging" artists, all make exciting and interesting work. As well as the main exhibition, the artists have been invited to follow a great tradition of creating one-off "Christmas cards" - original, beautiful, ironical, maybe satirical. Mounted and framed, these very collectable artists' originals are also for sale. SMALL beautiful and affordable...now in its 5th year this exhibition is a must for those who seek out contemporary art of real quality, for themselves or for those they love.
Also opening this Thursday is the Merriment Makers Christmas fair which I am proud to be a part of again after the huge success it was last year. So if you are in Edinburgh this coming weekend you would be a fool to miss this event where there will be plenty of wonderful Christmas pressie ideas to be had as well as warming mulled wine I hear tell...
And this one was drawn just as the sun was going down and the high street became busy with hikers heading down off the hills so it is titled 'Homeward bound, December dusk Staveley'...
I will also be taking part in the Earthy Christmas craft fair at their Portbello shop next weekend which will no doubt be crammed with wonderful gift ideas and treats...visit the earthy website here...
