The final venue for the CLAS “All that Glisters” exhibition is at Bath central library, a lovely place, ane we’ve just set it up there – visit it until Friday 25th May.
It’s now over, but here are a few images, it was fun setting up and the work is fantastic.
Just helped set up the South Hampshire Calligraphers’ exhibition, LIGHT & DARK, in a corridor along the back of the libraray – now known as the Discovery Centre, Winchester (Jewry street, SO23 8SB near the station). It’s there until 24 May 2012 then moves to Romsey Cathedral, SO51 8EP 28 May – 10 June.
Just finished helping put up 97 pieces of work that all include something gold-like: ‘All that Glisters’ (is not gold) is the title of Calligraphy & Lettering Arts Society’s wonderful exhibition at the OXO Gallery on the Thames embankment. it’s on over easter and closes the following Sunday. here are some highlights from the setting up day:
Hampshire & Berkshire Guild of Craftsmen (and women) is exhibiting at Fareham’s Westbury Manor 11th February 2012 – 25 March. Potters, weavers, furniture makers, jewellers, and one calligrapher – me – are displaying our hand made works in the museum’s gallery. Open Tuesday – Saturday, closed Sundays & Mondays. here are a few images of the show.
Marvellous new exhibition opening in London’s OXO Gallery 3 – 16 April 2012, Calligraphy & Lettering Arts Society’s big gold show. I’ll have some work in it.

Open until December, Sarum College Salisbury (close to the Cathedral) has an exhibition spread around its building of lettercutting, sculpture and painting, themed on the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. I have four hangings displayed. there are some fabulous sculptures, and I particularly love the lettercarving by Robyn Golden-Hann. Do visit if you are in the area, but you’ll have to ask for a map when you go in, or you’ll miss a lot of treasures!
I’m just back from 4 hectic days of demonstrating – but what fun!
crowds of people visit this amazing annual event – see www.artinaction.org.uk to see artists, poets, musicians all display and demonstrate their skills and talk and explain their passion. I had little time to see other tents but what I did see was up to its usual high standard.
