For the next two weeks (30th May - 11th June), I've joined forces with the very talented Fiona Gill of Marmaladerose to bring an exhibition to the Station in Richmond, North Yorkshire. We've called it 'Natural Magic', a title which seemed perfect for our work....we both love natural subjects but you couldn't get two more different media....I work in soft pastels so my hands are always messy, Fiona in wet-felting so hers are beautifully clean and smell of soap.
Detail from one of Fiona's pieces....amazing...you could almost reach in and lift him out, couldn't you?
One of my soft pastel hares ...I had a bit of a thing about them for this exhibition...they're a dream to paint. My favourite bit is putting on the very last strokes of hair on the hare!
So here we are now for two weeks. It's a great place to visit, not least for the Artisan shops along the old platform...the bakery is to die for. There are also 3 cinema screens and a gorgeous bistro...oh an 2 other exhibition spaces. From the back, you can walk along the old railway lines which follow the river for most of the way or into Richmond itself which is full of history and interest....it truly is a stunning venue.
On Saturday 6th June, we'll be demonstrating our stuff there all day (10am -4pm)....come and watch and maybe have a go yourself if the urge takes you.....keep an eye out for us.....!
