 Herefordshire Art Week

H.art is an open studios event featuring artists all over the county of Herefordshire, running from 11th through to the 20th of Septmber this year there are around 85 artists participating, giving a great excuse to explore our beautiful county. This is my sixth year of being involved in this and my third year in my current studio.

 I have been busy over the last year building up a new collection of work, and developing my display.

 

I have a wide selection of work available for sale, ranging from small pocket sized pieces through to large scale works for the larger garden or outdoor space. Below is a picture of my studio with taken at H.art 2009 with some members of the public taking advantage of the afternoon sun to have a burger and a glass of cider.

I will be open from Saturday 10th of September through to the 18th from 9.30am until 5.00pm though the first weekend I will be there until 7.00pm. If you would like to make a later visit, or to see me outside of these dates feel free to contact me and I can make myself available. I am happy to take larger group visits, but again please contact me first.

 

During the weekend of 10th/11th there will be a licensed cider bar for both tastings and sales of local cider made by friends of mine at Broome Farm, winners of lots of awards for quality cider, highly reccomended. There will also be food available in a small marquee with both meaty and 'veggie options vailable, both the cider and the food were vary popular last year,

 I will be around for the whole week, working after the initial weekend, and will be happy to recieve visitors with no notice needed. I am happy to demonstrate the techniques I use and can even provide hands on experience if you are interested.

Directions;

From Hereford take the B4224 for Fownhope, go through Fownhope, and about a mile later you come over the brow of a hill, just after this you will see the pink H.art sign and a sign for Caplor Farm/ fruit and veg. Turn right up the drive and park by the large shed, there will be signs to my studio.

From the M50, turn right at J4 for Ledbury A449, then after a mile turn left onto the b4224 sign posted Hereford, then after about 4 miles there is a sharp up hill left hand bend, I am about half a mile after this on the left, again watch out for the signs described above.
