Visit our first exhibition of 2008, and experience a taste of Spring and Summer colours in this delightful and accomplished display of artwork by children from Donington Primary School -
staged by Bridget Skanski-Such (HHG member), previous exhibitions have featured award winning pieces and much appreciation by visitors of the high standards reached and techniques employed.
Following many years working in education, Bridget has been Artist in Residence at Donington for four years, and in that time has built a solid foundation for practical and focussed arts education, concentrating on drawing skills and specific mixed media techniques.
Most of these pieces were produced over several weeks as ongoing projects, and the quality of work reflects the dedication and excitement in producing something wonderful!
Long may it continue...
YE WANDERING SIGN OF OLDE STEEPE HILL ,
(or - to me...no, to you...hang on, to me...no,to you )
Incidentally, as you innocently (well evidently, not all of you!) stagger up or lurch down the hill one of these clear frosty nights, do keep your eyes peeled for the recurring phenomenon which is our gravitating gallery sign - this hefty testament to my signwriting skills has of late sprouted wings and taken flight, only to reappear lurking quietly somewhere where it has absolutely no business to be!
Hmmm...heavy isn't it???
P.S. I do commissions...

EXHIBITIONS 2008
With the New Year a distant memory, and the skirl of the pipes still ringing in my ears
( oh no, that was Friday and Saturday night - apologies to any itinerant but puzzled passers by, yes, it was "A man's a man" and "Scotland the Brave" issuing live at full pelt...)
I am now able to provide details (thanks to Soo's undimmed exertions ) of this year's exciting Exhibition programme ( but sadly minus my usual variations in font, colour and interesting visual layout because "blogger" is bedevilled today! )
