August News and Events

Lots of summer activities and  news…

I completely forgot to write a July newsletter so we’ll swiftly move on to August.  We had a a busy few weeks with work experience students, Feltonbury and Felton Fair.  Now we’re ready to welcome holiday makers along with our lovely regular customers!

We have several workshops coming up with limited space on each.  Diana FitzPatrick also teaches small workshops in her studio and I’ll list all of those below.  Renira Barnes will be holding a drop in day on the 23rd so there are lots of opportunites to get creative!

 Repair Cafe is on the 16th of August-a lot of you have been in touch to ask if specific items can be repaired but it all depends on which “repairers” are here on the day!  Just get in touch if you have any questions.

The gallery will be having another exhibition change over so as Wild Northumbria comes down we welcome artist David Crawford.  David has exhibited with us before but brings a new, exciting body of work entitled Arcane Landscapes.

Hally Mason will be taking over the Long Room with her exhibition of colourful paintings entitled “Days of the Dog”.  I’ll send more information on this soon as well as an invitation to a special event on August 23.

Finally, we are delighted to include the menu for our next Craft Cafe on September 19th!  Places fill up extremely quickly so book now if there is something you’d particularly like to try.  You get a choice of 2 crafts and there is a sociable break in the middle for complimentary refreshments!

We hope you are having a lovely summer whether you are home or away!  Make us part of your holiday plans and we hope to see you soon,
