Events

A beautiful exhibition of work by Peter and Beverley Hicks (Father and Daughter) exploring their ideas and deeply felt concerns in relation to the landscape of North Yorkshire. As has been the case for many artists, writers and musicians in the past, landscape is the vehicle for their creativity and each artist allows their paintings to reflect on a place without being beholden to its familiarities.

The purpose of this exhibition is to investigate the relationship of the human experience during deep Winter. Gina focuses on moments of reflection on the natural landscape at night and show how there is a resonance and intrigue to be found in a deceptively dormant landscape.

Sandra Meech and Elizabeth Brimelow are landscape inspired artists.

What do we really value? Many things that have little or no monetary worth are deeply treasured – memories, family sayings, a particular poem or a special place.

Water is an exhibition exploring two different Artists’ observations and interpretations of the theme of water.

Their unique styles complement each other to bring an interesting exhibition of the natural world.

I have always been called to water, having grown up near lakes and rivers and holidays by the sea. Drawn to its mysterious depths, transparent and yet visible, reflecting light and catching colours. Intrigued by cold water’s healing properties and the wonderful feeling of being submerged in an icy blanket.

What is a space?

Inspired by the wild and beautiful Northern Fells and a shared history of drawing from life, local artists Gina Tawn and Ann Evans collaborate to make a new collection of work.

As Kay lives in Cumbria and Gillian lives in the Trossachs, textiles and walking are intertwined within their lives. The steady rhythm of walking is echoed by the rhythm of stitch. The building up of layers with material and stitch and the repetitive process of stitch resonates with the layers of footpaths crisscrossing the landscape which have developed over hundreds of years through the repetitive process of walking. Footsteps overwriting those who have walked the same paths before. Small steps on a walk, small pieces of fabric, all joining together to make a coherent whole.

Crafts, handmade toys, flowers and plants, garments, home produce, art and photography and special children’s sections. Homemade refreshments and musical entertainment.
