Patchings News
The month of August continues to be a busy time at Patchings. Over the last few years it has been the time when we have staged the year's major exhibition. This year is no exception with the opening in the Barn Gallery from 24 July until 12 September A Personal View. Trevor Chamberlain ROI. RSMA. We have been able to show one or two pieces of work by Trevor over the years in joint shows, it is now a great privilege to host a one man show of his recent work in oil and watercolour. Much of the work has a focus on the weather. To add further interest to the exhibition there is a selection of paintings from Trevor's personal collection. Not only do we see the brilliance of the artist but also something of what inspires and interests him. Certainly an exhibition not to be missed.
Other exhibitions showing in our galleries during August are as follows. Moods by Pete Bridgwood. Pete is an extremely talented photographer and this exhibition on the landscape of the British Isles proves the point. It opens in the Rafters Gallery on 31 July until 19 September. In the Crew Yard Gallery opening 7 August until 5 September is an exhibition of glass work by Sharon Baldry. Sharon's designs in glass and lead are much sought after.
Always part of our August programme is the ever popular Teddy Bear Fair on Bank Holiday Monday 30 August. The Fair opens at 10.am until 4.00.pm. and is held in both the Pavilion and Log Cabin. Free Admission, refreshments available.
