Throughout the month of April we are displaying our work together with two other painters – Carly Gilliatt and Gill Edwards – and one weaver – Megan Allaway – at the Harding House Gallery on Steep Hill in Lincoln. We originally set aside two days to set up the exhibition, but as we unpackaged our work it all sat so well together so effortlessly, that we only needed the one day, and therefore opened a day early to the public!

Here’s a little peak into what we have on offer…

And here’s some information about the other artists involved, as well as links to their websites/social media…

Carly Gilliatt – Paintings which capture a moment in time, fuelled by uplifting colour and energy of the landscape.

Gill Edwards – Contemplative still life paintings which joyfully embrace colour, pattern and the dance of shape and space.

Megan Allaway – Vibrant and tactile weavings, skilfully encompassing the interplay of shifting colour pallets with mid-century design aesthetics.

Joy Gosney – Semi abstract paintings which fizz with effervescent hues and evoke compelling and dreamlike memories of landscape.

I had so much fun helping to put this exhibition together and it was a real honour to be asked to be a part of it. I am also really looking forward to the ‘Meet the Artists’ event on Saturday 20th April. Do feel free to pop along and join us for a glass of prosecco to celebrate and chat about the art on show, the more the merrier!

I am very happy to announce that I now have two pieces on display within the museum and both are available to purchase.

Stood proud on a spalted beech base, ‘Sashiko’ is a deep blue translucent glass panel, carefully and dutifully decorated by small “stiches” of opaque white glass. With a clear link to the Japanese textiles technique of the same name, ‘Sashiko’ is a unique piece that took many hours to create with a steady hand and a lot of patience.

Fitting within my botanical range, ‘Fall’ is a shallow glass dish of golden yellow hues. Featuring fired on real leaves and grasses around the periphery, ‘Fall’ echoes the sensation of the warm autumn sun.

Please contact Stourbridge Glass Museum to purchase either item.

This is my first time attending Pollen (and first time trading in Sheffield) and I’m really excited to be taking part. I’ll definitely be taking some spending money on this one as I’m sure I’ll be bringing back some purchases of my own! This is also set to be the first of only two markets I will be participating in before autumn, so if you want to browse my work at a market before then, do make a note of the 11th in your diary. If all goes well I will return to Sheffield for the next indoor Pollen event in December.
