Pebbles, Stones and Rocks is open!

 After a really busy week doing all the last minute things that need doing, we successfully completed the set up of the exhibition and were thrilled to open it on Saturday.

We had each approached the theme so differently, and as ever it was a joy to see how well the work held together.

Susan's soft drawing and collage and layering are sublime. Two pieces which were previously small artists' books have been laid down and attached to make a delightful and restful grid - with threads catching your eye here and there.

Steph's work follows her travels and her wanderings from the Moeraki boulders in New Zealand, to flying north to Broome, dust storms in Doha and beyond!

Tory's recent trip to Antarctica inspired her majestic oil paintings, whilst the stories of the penguins who offer love tokens of stones to there partners was the impetus for her four etchings.

My Grief is a stone works on paper are in their own bookshelf...

And my jewellery flows along a cabinet near the door.

The four friends on Saturday: Fiona, Susan, Steph and Tory.

 

And scenes from the opening afternoon - lots of friends and family gathered.

It was  such a joy to reach this point and to see so many happy faces, to talk about our creativity and to see folk enjoying the work, and purchasing some.
