annie turner

Margaret Cooter mentions Annie Turner on her blog today. I have a policy of buying a piece of art or craft whenever I sell well at an exhibition. At Chelsea Crafts Fair in 2006 (I think) I was in the same aisle as Annie. I had one particularly expensive tapestry and promised myself that if it went I would have one of Annie's ladders. It's one of the things I'd rescue if the house was on fire. Spare, elegant, poetic.


There is an online exhibition of Archie Brennan's work here. It'll be there for a few months.

I've started a new blog purely for fun! It's here.

So here's the news!

Linda Green


There will be a great range of tapestry on show from the narrative works of Amanda Gizzi to Fiona Hutchison's textural, three dimensional evocations of the sea, Linda Green's complex textile drawings and lots more.
52 tapestries in fact - 4 from each artist.

Jo McDonald

Please tell your friends, mention this exhibition on your blogs, facebook, twitter (speaking as a facebook/twitterphobe!) anywhere! It's going to a great show and is a very exciting development for us.
