 Liz Harding's piece on the wall at Nature in Art.

Our day as artists in residence in the studio - a very sunny Sunday.

Lindas work in progress. We really enjoyed talking to everyone who came through the studio and explaining techniques and inspiration. Visitors enjoyed the sketchbooks and understanding the process and research behind the work. Two more weeks to enjoy the exhibition, we are stewarding everyday so come and chat to us!

Quilts Outside at Nature in Art

My quilts hanging in the garden of Nature in Art, seemed to have survived the heavy rain, drying out quickly and glowing in the warm sunshine. 

Three long thin quilts wrapped around the trunks of the Hazel tree and a quilt hung on the garden wall nearby, covered in symbols to represent the qualities of the Hazel as the Tree of Knowledge. Orange used as the colour traditionally associated with the Hazel.

Inside Out Exhibition.

 Visitors at the exhibition yesterday. I was stewarding and it was busy all day despite the rain.

 Carlas mushroom trail a big success with children and adults! Don't forget to go round the garden and look at the outside work!

Lindas corner - lots to look at. Don't miss the films in the dining room next to the cafe. Do come and chat to us stewarding. Closed on Monday but open 10-5 every day until the 31st.
