THE Summer Exhibition at Old Chapel Gallery, Pembridge, entitled Glory of the Garden features the work of seven artists and craftspeople who take inspiration from the garden.
Showing for the first time at the gallery is ceramicist Jane Cox who has won several awards for her work including the Wedgwood Scholarship for surface design. By complete contrast are Penkridge Ceramics, whose success lies in the creation of the ‘real thing’ when it comes to ceramic fruits, vegetables and horse chestnuts.
Jenny Devereux is regarded as one of the finest floral printmakers. Her unique etching style, and her sensitive, creative approach to the forms and materials found in the natural world combine to form striking yet subtle images.
Herefordshire textile artist Angie Hughes uses a variety of media and is particularly inspired by poetry or text, the natural world and plant forms. Also from Herefordshire is jeweller Rebecca Lewis, whose unique jewellery draws upon the inspiration of antiques and collectables, and felt maker Deborah Poole and ceramic artist Hilke MacIntyre return with new collections.
The exhibition runs until the end of August. The gallery is open every day, 11am to 5pm. For further information, call 01544 388842.
