After a quiet winter and a gentle plodding on with my art, a new season has arrived and it seems some new and exciting ventures are on the horizon.
Springing up
From 16th May to 22nd July I will be taking part in a pilot scheme run by Tresorys Kernow to see studios on the High Street. Three unused shops in Launceston will be taken over by artists for 10 weeks, so that the public are able to view and engage with artists’ creative practice. This will take something that often happens out of sight in spaces that are not accessible to others into the public domain and so engaging with a wider audience. As part of Swanskin Printmakers we will be using what was the W H Smith shop in Launceston (a lovely big space) to make works demonstrating various methods of printmaking and encouraging others to drop in and have a go.
If you are in the area, drop in and see what we are up too. I am very excited to see how this develops, not only in our space but also within the other shops that other artists are occupying. For more information go to.cornwall museums partnership
