x Marilyn Allis - Big Brush and People in the picture watercolour- September 2015
Big Brush 4th September
Using one just 2 large brushes, you have more control than you think. A workshop that is all about painting loose and capturing atmosphere. a great workshop to loosen up in.Suitable for all abilities
People in the Picture 5th September
People are easier to capture than you may think, just blobs of light and dark paint, so don't be frightened to include them in your paintings! you will find that they are totally addictive once you get started, so why not give this workshop a go, and learn how to create loose and lively figures in your paintings.
This workshop is perfect for anyone who already has a basic grounding in watercolour, but wants to take it to the next level, or for the experienced student who finds figures a challenge.
I have 2 spaces left on 29th October CHUNKY acrylics
I now have vouchers for special occasions to be used against workshops/ materials or paintings. please look on web site www.marilynallis.com

x Smarty Lamps(SmartDeco) in the Theatre and Circus Fields at Glastonbury Festival
The Smart Deco team have been ‘out in the field’ creating décor with Smartylamps for the main stage tents in the Theatre and Circus Fields of Glastonbury Festival 2015 held in Somerset in South West England.
http://artbyjaxx.com/2015/07/18/smarty-lamps-in-the-theatre-and-circus-fields-at-glastonbury-festival/
Smart Deco started business in 2004 with ‘SmartyLamps’ as its first interior décor product. An invitation to provide décor for the Circus Big Top in the Theatre and Circus Fields back in 2008 occurred after a selection of Smarty Lamps were installed in the Geneva Motor Show and were spotted by a lady working there who also managed the Circus Big Top at Glastonbury Festival.
Until 2010, Smart Deco provided the Circus Big Top with a larger selection of Smarty Lamps in large tube and diamond shapes, as well as the iconic Elektra design. The Circus Big Top management gradually purchased the lights made for the festival and were used annually to provide lighting between acts.
As seasoned festival veterans, we were delighted to be invited back this year to provide decor for another two main stages in T&C in 2015 Smarty Lamps created the installations for the Astrolabe Theatre (Glebeland), Cabaret (Bella’s Field) as well as the Circus Big Top.
The huge Smarty Lamps must be created on-site in a short timescale, to be hung before the festival starts. This is no mean feat! Over the years, the public have started showing up earlier and it is vital for the installations to be ready on deadline. Whatever happens, the show must go on – properly lit, and on time!

x ‘Step in Stone’ is ready to rock! Starts on 8th July at Somerset Earth Science Centre
‘step
in stone’
- a multi-disciplinary art project featuring work, by fourteen
leading artists -offers a unique opportunity to encounter
contemporary artworks while exploring the spectacular, wild
landscapes of working and abandoned quarries. Local
and international artists, all with connections to the South West,
are creating a series of site-specific artworks
inspired by
the nature of quarries and their
place in the cultural and industrial heritage of the Mendips.
Opening
in July and stepping up in 3 phases to its finale in October, the
event will occupy 6 different venues. Step 1 starts on 8th
July at Somerset
Earth Science Centre,
near Shepton Mallet. On 15th
August, Step 2 starts at Westdown/Asham and Halecombe quarries and
Step 3 will be part of Somerset Art Weeks Festival’s Momentum
programme, 3rd
– 18th
October, at Fairy Cave Quarry, Black Swan Arts Centre and Frome
Museum. Special events include workshops, artist talks and guided
walks run in collaboration
with ecologists from Somerset Wildlife Trust's Save
Our Magnificent Meadows project. Walks in Westdown/Asham Quarry will
lead groups into stunning areas, normally restricted.
The
quarries' natural history, ecology and geology are inspiring works in
surprising forms. Tessa Farmer's installations will feature tiny
skeletal, anarchic fairies, preserved insects and taxidermy.
Bristol
poet, Ralph Hoyte, is creating a downloadable aural word-symphony and
a motion
activated poetic sound
intervention.
Artmusic
will perform ‘Echo’,
a theatrical response to the rock itself and the mechanics of
quarrying, in Westdown Quarry (22/23rd August) and each weekend of
step 3 in Fairy Cave Quarry, tying in with family days.
A
Sculpture Design Competition was recently held to engage young people
in the project. Winner, Charlotte McKeown, will create her sculpture
with help from 'step
in stone' artists,
for exhibition at SESC. All entries will be on show during the
finale at Black Swan Arts, with the top 20 designs in a special
display area. Some of the work at Halecombe will be the product of
school workshops run in July with Fiona and Suzie as part of SAW’s
inspirED educational programme.
Funding
for step
in stone has
come primarily from Arts Council England/National Lottery with
additional support from IdeasTap crowdfunding, Mendip Hills Fund,
Somerset Art Works, Gane Trust, Frome Town Council and partners
Somerset Earth Science Centre and Black Swan Arts amongst others.
Leaflets
and maps will be available at step
in stone
venues, Frome and Shepton Tourist offices and other local outlets.
For further details about step
in stone or
to book a workshop, guided walk or artist talk visit:
We will be unveiling a sculpture made that day by our young winner of the under 20’s sculpture design competition, Charlotte McKeown.

x William Catlow's Stunning Jewellery at bGallery
William's jewellery collection "Pollen" is inspired by natural shapes
found in seeds, leaves, buds, berries, even fruit and vegetables !
William
uses precious metals, predominantly silver and gold. The natural forms
evolve into botanical shapes using materials chosen for their precious,
permanent qualities.
The sweeping curves and elegant lines evoke
an image between the natural and the abstract, creating a luxurious
feeling for the wearer to enjoy.

X Paul Galligan at www.bgallery.co.uk
There's not much to say. I have been painting for more than 20 years but am new to selling work. I did train as an
animator with the fine art training that goes with that but I am largely
self taught.
