Review of Selected 2014 on Helen Terry’s blog

I came across a lovely blog post about the exhibitions which are part of this year’s Stroud International Textiles events.

‘I drove 150 miles to Gloucestershire in the rain on Friday to see what I could of the SITSelect exhibitions. My sat nav guided me up the steepest, narrowest lane with heart-stoppingly beautiful views (when I dared to look) to Newark Park. I read the advice to not use your sat nav only after that little adventure, once I…..’

A two-day Papermaking Workshop with Jane Ponsford

Saturday, May 10, 2014 10.00-5.00 and Sunday, May 11, 2014 10.00-5.00

As an artist and papermaker I am inspired by the landscape around us. Join me for two hands-on and enjoyable days exploring your landscape through papermaking.

The workshop will include making pulps using cotton and linen rag, casting and couching, laminating and embossing. We will use a Hollander beater (a ‘Critter’) and we will also explore processes that can be used at home. On the first day we will take a short walk to draw inspiration from the local landscape so please have suitable footwear.

The ticket includes a light lunch on both days.

Suitable for all. Click on the link to book through Eventbrite. Price £80.

The workshop is part of the Select Festival 2014 organised by Lizzi Walton of Stroud International Textiles. I have work in the Newark Park exhibition Select 2014.

Select 2014 at Newark Park

Exciting news about an exhibition at Newark Park in April. I’m one of a number of artists and makers invited to show work in an exhibition curated by Lizzi Walton of Stroud International Textiles as part of a series of linked events related to the symposium.

Newark Park is a wonderful National Trust treasure and was once a Tudor Hunting Lodge. Here 30 extraordinary artists will exhibit work. Among the work will be site responsive work inspired by the magical setting of Newark Park.
