These artists, all tutored by Christopher Baker, will be showing very different interpretations of their thoughts and reactions to being in the landscape. The variety of landscape encompassed is huge, it incorporates Pembrokeshire, where there is a field trip every year, and other locations around Britain and Europe. The artist is always seeking to identify and find a source of inspiration for their work. The Town Hall will be open Saturday 14th 10am to 5pm and Sunday 15th from 10am to 4pm.

Friday 15th April An Illustrated talk by Kathleen Osgood, PhD

From 8pm - "From the Test to the Merrimack: 17th Century Puritan Migrations from Wherwell" – presented via a Zoom meeting. Prompted by research into her family's English origins, Kathleen Osgood has discovered more than 100 ancestors from the River Test valley who emigrated to the New World, starting with John and Sarah Osgood from Cottonworth, who left the UK with five children in 1638. Their stories intertwine in fascinating ways, connected by marriage and ideas of free will and Puritanism. Expect some fascinating anecdotes about the Reverend Stephen Batchelder and the De La Warres, along with the Osgoods and Fowlers and Abbotts. Kathleen Osgood is a comparative literature scholar with work among northern native peoples. Retired now, she has taught for the University of the Arctic and The Center for Circumpolar Studies.
