ART TREK

OPEN STUDIOS THROUGHOUT NORTH DEVON 10 TO 26 JUNE

JUNE 2011

A North Devon Festival event

Welcome to North Devon’s friendly open studios...

Artists are happy to show their work to visitors throughout the year, an appointment is advisable. Please telephone or email.

For the eighth year, the artists of North Devon are throwing open their studio doors to the public. It's a great opportunity to go behind the scenes, talk to artists first-hand and see work in progress. Some venues offer demonstrations and workshops, others feature group exhibitions showcasing a wide range of arts and crafts. Many artists will also present their work as groups in galleries, shops and a host of interesting alternative venues.

Art Trek 2011 spans three weekends in June from the 10th to 26th. Here in North Devon we truly believe we live in the most beautiful part of the world; our coastline, countryside and people are all inspirational to many of the artists and this is a unique opportunity to meet and talk with them, learn about their techniques and the creative process - and better still, purchase local art direct from the people who created it.

Keiron Leach

Tim Saunders

Keiron lives in North Devon and, inspired by his local surroundings, he produces work using a variety of inks and watercolours, focusing on the interplay of light, dark, abstract shapes and rhythms that exist within the landscape.

Tim’s paintings are derived from sketches made in the local landscape. Working expressively in oil, recent forays into abstraction have influenced his new landscapes.

Tim will also be at the Lantern Art Fair (p9).

Lucy produces a range of handprinted home wares, alongside acrylic and mixed media modern landscapes, all with a vintage feel, yet suitable for the modern interior. Also exhibiting at Castle Hill Art Fair (p16).

Robin paints landscapes in watercolour and oils and paints portraits on commission. He has exhibited widely in collections in Australia, Europe, South Africa, UK and USA. His house is three doors from the White Hart.

Meet Helen in the Carriage Museum Gallery where she will be demonstrating her work.

Also at Castle Hill Arts Fair. (p16)

I work in reduction-fired stoneware, making contemporary functional ware at affordable prices. My range of glazes are subtle in colour with minimal decoration. My studio is next door to the popular Fox & Goose pub.

Jacqueline Leighton Boyce

Grizel Luttman-Johnson

Silk appliquéd and embroidered pictures with hand beading inspired by nature.

Embroidered accessories and cards. Situated in the lovely Old School Rooms, Heather will be demonstrating her practice of machine appliqué and embroidery during Art Trek.

I design my own contemporary baskets using a mixture of traditional techniques from several European countries.

My willow comes mostly from the Somerset Levels. The theme this year is baskets and structures for the garden.

Handmade original prints.

Linocuts, woodcuts and collages of printed paper, framed and unframed; all inspired by the countryside and shoreline of North Devon. Work ranges from small-scale to large and simple monochrome to multi-coloured.

Highly collectable, earthenware illustrative vessels with surfaces created by layers of slips, glazes and metallic lustres. Jacki’s pieces often have a narrative from observations taken from her exploration on foot of the Exmoor landscape.

Unusual handmade notebooks, journals and small-press publications bound in unique marbled papers and incorporating embroidered silk, and hand-printed and recycled papers. Grizel marbles the papers on trays of rainwater in her barn.

West Gallery is an exciting art gallery showcasing art work by some of the best artists and makers in the west of England.

Run by designer and artist Rob Walker and his wife Belinda the gallery is set deep in the beautiful Devon countryside.

Sats 10am to 7.30pm.

Having come from a family of painters and makers, my work is now mature and confident. My new wild flower paintings are offset by strong colourful abstracts painted in mixed media, oils and acrylics. Also at Castle Hill Art Fair (p16).

Tues 14 10.30am to 6pm.

Celia creates loose-style paintings that are full of colour and texture and reflect her response to the local landscape. Workshops on 11th 18th & 25th. Please pre-book, full details on website.

Thurs 16 also 5.30pm to 7.30pm.

I paint abstract landscapes in oil on canvas, wood, slate, metal; using beeswax, scrim, and gesso to make texture with large brushes and palette knives. My paintings are about a spiritual and emotional response to landscape. Also exhibiting at Castle Hill Art Fair.
