Patchings Art Centre
Patchings 13 June 09
Following a very successful Festival, (see the link Patchings Festival to find out what you have missed) the busy summer period at Patchings now gets into gear. The current exhibitions which began with the Festival are the two categories of selected entries for this year’s Artist and Leisure Painter Patchings 2009 competition. Some truly exquisite work in both the amateur and professional artists sections. A reminder that the full exhibition plus 100 works considered Highly Commended can be seen on line, please follow the link. In our Crew Yard Gallery we have an exhibition of glass work by the very talented Stephanie Bowen. Her remarkable fusing techniques can be seen in this exhibition.
Liz’s oil painting course continues after a short break, focusing on the use of hard and soft edges with inspiration from the likes of Van Dyke and Titian. While the watercolourists with Chas embark on their outdoor painting sessions looking at the waterways of Nottinghamshire. In addition we continue with our Saturday Workshop Programme with two drawing sessions, on still life and life drawing. Peter Gill is also leading a printing workshop. Further details are in the Art School Programme.
Following our current exhibition in the Barn Gallery we are showing ‘The Print Making of Sir William Nicholson’, one of our main exhibitions for this year which opens on 18 July.
There is a lot to look forward to this summer at Patchings. We will keep you up to date through these pages and we hope to see you in the next few months.
Liz, Pat and Chas Wood
