NEW SUMMERTIME ART EXHIBITION LAUNCHED TO CELEBRATE LOCAL CREATIVE TALENT
Cadbury Garden Centre in Congresbury is teaming up with Codename Octopus to launch a new Summertime exhibition that showcases the work of 14 talented local artists.
Visitors will be able to discover an array of original artworks, prints, jewellery and ceramics at the free event which will take place in The Parlour Room from 9am on June 27th to 3pm on July 3rd.
Different artists will be attendance each day so visitors can meet the makers and learn about their work. All of the pieces in the exhibition will be available to buy.
Among those exhibiting are MA graduates from the Royal College of Art, UWE and Bath Spa University, and two of the artists have recently received awards for their innovative work.
There will also be a selection of £10 taster workshops for visitors to try including printmaking, calligraphy and recycling art.
Blue Diamond’s Group Event’s Manager Rebecca Gurnett says: “Cadbury Garden Centre is located in the heart of a vibrant creative community and this exhibition is a chance for visitors to meet the local artists, hear their stories and discover how each piece is made.”
“We’re also hoping to inspire people to explore their creative sides by learning new art forms, taught by the artists from the show.”
The taster workshops will run from Monday to Friday twice daily at 10am and 2.30pm. They include Botanical Monoprinting, Calligraphy Cards, Gelliprinting, Recycling Tetrapack into Art and Exploring Charcoal.
The workshops can be booked online here https://events.bluediamond.gg/category/73459

Unique Ceramics For Gardens And Interiors – Karen Edwards
‘Spring’, a new sculpture design for 2015
Spring is on the way, a time when thoughts start to turn towards enjoying and enhancing our gardens. I’ve been busy throughout the winter, designing and making sculptures and planters ready for the new season.
My first two shows of 2015 are not far away now – I’m taking part again in the Easter Sculpture Exhibition at the University of Bristol Botanic Garden (3rd – 6th April). As well as the outdoor sculptures in various media there will be a botanical art exhibition, demonstrations and garden tours.
