A passion for colour
Brigit Hill graduated with BA (Hons) Fine Art at the University of West England (formerly Bristol Polytechnic) in 1989. She is primarily a watercolour artist but has recently reignited her love of oil painting and discovered new ways of working during printmaking classes. From the very start, she has been interested in still lifes, either using patterned pottery or flowers as a starting point, using vibrant, cheerful colours to create paintings and prints. In the past, she has exhibited in group exhibitions at Flying Colours Gallery, Open Eye Gallery and with Scottish Contemporary Art at Phillips Auction House in Edinburgh. She has also organised solo exhibitions in residential spaces in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. Whilst in Wokingham, she has received commissions for her colourful work.
Open 10am till 4pm daily

Order & Chaos
This exhibition consists of cast and fused Glass and Acrylic Painitngs by Cat Noble. Cat produces organic work that shows flow and movement.
When speaking about her art she said "I am fascinated by change and the metamorphosis that occurs when glass changes from the raw material to the finished object. People will often see varied things within the glass and the paintings because of the movement created - faces, objects, continents and galaxies to name but a few. Some things can be controlled in the making process but other things are random and chaotic".
I create my own moulds based on natural objects and use different colours in the glass to emphasize form and shape. I also create sculptures out of ice which I then cast in glass - it's exciting to take something ephemeral and make it into a permanent but unique structure.
Thursday 23 August - Tuesday 28 August 2018

it's about the light
This exhibition of work by Elisabeth Hobden draws together images in a variety of different mediums, initially inspired by the intensity and colour of the ever-changing light and shadow patterns at the end of a long riverside garden.
The theme of light weaves its way through all the pictures, whether directly in the stunning cyanotype art made by the power of the sun itself, or less obviously in paintings where the darkness has been physically scraped away to reveal the underlying light and colour.
Most importantly 50% of the proceeds from the sale of these pictures will bring light to the lives of children rescued from the streets of Kampala through the work of a marvellous project called Dwelling Places.
Open 12 noon - 5pm and allday Saturday.

Alchemy - Paper and Clay
Presenting an eclectic mix of 2 and 3 dimensional art on paper and clay by printmakers from the Print @ the Park group together with 2 invited ceramists all based at South Hill Park Arts Centre in Bracknell.
Last seen at the Henley Old Fire Station Gallery in 2017, Print @ the Park group return using a wide variety of printmaking techniques such as etching, linocut, lithography, screenprint and collagraph to produce high quality, individual impressions on paper. They exhibit widely, both at South Hill Park and at other venues throughout the year and have been in existence for more than 10 years.
The styles of the ceramicists Karen Marks and Jana Griffiths, the invited guests, contrast and complement as both the delicate and the bold displayed in this exhibition sit happily together.
