Maiden Journey Exhibition

This is a mixed exhibition at Longitude Gallery in Clitheroe, in which Aly has about 9 works. It is in partnership with Maidenbridge Gallery in Tatham near Lancaster where Aly will have two works. Find out more from Longitude’s website. It is a good opportunity to see most of the brand new hot off the presses Boulders series all together, along with some Clatterings. Here is a taster:

WATCH THIS SPACE

This is your first glimpse of our new exhibition space/photography studio. Next door is a separate space for the messy painter. We will still be in the same building, but at the top of the stairs rather than at the end of a gloomy corridor. At the moment, lights are going in and a few things are being fixed. The next job will be to repaint the floor. It is all going to look rather lush. Keep an eye on this page for further updates.

Fame!

Both Aly and Matt have been featured in Burnley’s Lifestyle and Tourism Guide. This is in the style of a glossy magazine and as we speak 20,000 copies of it are being distributed throughout the North West. If you see one, grab one, as they are free! There is a double page spread on each artist featured, 6 in all. Matt also has also done the photography for an article on paragliding. In case you don’t see a copy, here are some sneak previews. They are just snaps of the magazine taken on Aly’s phone to give an idea. Much classier in reality!

This is just some of what we have available. Pop in Weds – Saturday afternoons to look through the browers. There are actually 3 of them – a traditional one, an old magazine rack and a bread bin! Prices from £22.

October Bulletin

Take Off by Matt Gartside.

It has been a busy time in and out of the studio for both of us. Matt has been photographing work for various artists, including painters, illustrators and stonemasons. Many of these will become published giclee prints, which he can now offer up to A1. He has also been out and about on various commissions including photographing paragliders for Burnley Magazine and community arts events. He is also about to start a series of three photography workshops for adults at Burnley Youth Theatre. Each session is a stand alone so its not too late to join in. As well as commisioned and teaching work he has also been busy editing his personal work, some of which will be on display at our next Open Studio. This is on Saturday November 9th 10 am – 6pm. As in the September one we will be doing workshops again – watch this space for details.

Work in Progress

More Jackdaws Acrylic on primed card. Work in progress.

In the studio, Aly has been getting on with a couple of oil paintings, drawings using charcoal, pastels plus whatever else is handy, and some acrylics. She recently exhibited at the Central Lancashire Art Fair in New Longton and can be found at Otley Artisan Fair the last weekend of October (Sunday 10-1) and Kelbrook Art Fair the first weekend of November. Otley is in The Courthouse and the fair is actually in what was what the courtroom. The building is now an arts centre. The farmers market in Otley is on the same day, so a good little trip out. Kelbrook is a in the village hall and consists invited quality stalls. As an added bonus there is rather lovely homemade cake in the cafe too.
