Last month we said a fond farewell (but see you anon!) to Gail Belinda Lee, a much loved member of HHG for over 7 years , not only for the streamlined Sale or Return system she thankfully instigated back then, but for her constant hard work, and commitment in labeling and pricing anything (or anyone ) found in the same spot for more than 5 minutes....
Her cheery disposition and many talents will be facing a new and in it's own way creative challenge, as revealed in her own words...
It has been an interesting 7 1/2 years, I've experienced alot in helping to run a Co-operative. It has been a greatly supporting environment to have been part of.
However, we are really delighted to welcome a new artist into the group,
KEVIN WALLHEAD.
Kevin joined Harding House co-operative in June this year. He is a well established local glass artist with 10 years experience producing and supplying galleries in the East Midlands and further afield. He gained his first class honours degree De Montfort University, Lincoln studying Historic and Contemporary Decorative Craft.
Within the co-operative Kevin has taken on the role of display management in the Downstairs Gallery and regularly changes the work, keeping the shop refreshed and lively for both clients and artists alike. He enjoys meeting visitors and having that direct feedback that being part of the co-operative allows, something many artists seldom get.
Alongside his regular galleries Kevin is currently exhibiting in Brighton at the Alexander Gallery until September 8th, The Haven at Boston will be exhibiting a collection of work titled ‘Magnifying Glass’ which runs from September 1st to November 10th, and in the run up to Christmas Kevin will be participating in the Christmas Art Market at Thoresby Hall on the weekend of the 17th and 18th of November alongside other members of The Harding House Gallery.
