the story so far Bridport & West Dorset Open Studios

Bridport & west dorset open studios

Caroline Ireland - Venue 31 Founder of Bridport Open Studios

For many years artists have been drawn to Bridport and West Dorset, and the area has now gained a national reputation for its unique character and vibrant artistic community. As far back as 1865 Bridport boasted the first government funded art school in Dorset. Its most famous student was Francis (Fra) Newbery who went on to become one of the most distinguished directors of the Glasgow School of Art between 1885 and 1900, commissioning one of his students, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, to build the new Glasgow School of Art. Newbery also exhibited internationally with the Glasgow Boys, and promoted the work of his students so that the Glasgow style of Arts and Crafts became internationally known and emulated. Mackintosh and other friends and students visited Newbery in Dorset on sketching holidays and Newbery’s murals celebrating the ‘Spirit of Bridport’ can still be seen in the town hall.

Throughout the 20th century artists came to visit or live and work in the area. Both the landscape and the

proximity of the sea were important factors, though no stylistic school of painting, such as happened in Newlyn or St Ives in Cornwall, occurred here. Instead the area seems to have attracted individuals working on their own ideas.

"The Spirit of Bridport" by Fra Newbery

In the 1960s and 70s a new generation of artists took up residence in the locality, including the Americanborn abstract-expressionist painter John Hubbard and figurative painter Robin Rae – formerly a teacher at Liverpool School of Art, who studied under Francis Bacon and John Nash at the Royal College of Art. The experimental photographer John

Miles also moved here; he studied painting at Wimbledon School of Art and then turned to photography under the influence of his teacher Gerald Howson.

The seeds of the current artistic revival were probably planted in the 1980s when both John Miles and Robin Rae taught at Symondsbury Art College, started by Peter Hitchin in the Old Manor in Symondsbury, just outside Bridport. The Art College was followed by the Oakhayes Art Residency, run by Ann Barnes in the Symondsbury Old Rectory during the 1990s, which attracted dozens of artists from across the country.

I was one of the final residents at Oakhayes, arriving in the autumn of 1998, and it was a formative experience for me to work alongside so many talented artists. Oakhayes closed in 1999 so I went looking for a new studio and soon found a space in an old factory on the St Michael’s Trading Estate, where I have been working ever since. A couple of years later I was joined by artists Andrew

Leppard and Caroline Ireland and that was the start of St Michael’s Studios – now providing studios to over 20 artists. The studios have also been at the forefront of a cultural regeneration of the St Michael’s Trading Estate – now known as the Art & Vintage Quarter and offering a wealth of creative industries in addition to artists’ studios, such as carpenters, masons, upholsterers, signwriters, designers, many antiques and vintage shops and the ever-popular Red Brick Café. For more information go to www.enterprisestmichaels.org.uk 1999 was also the year Caroline Ireland started the first Bridport Open Studios event. Since then it has continued to grow over the years and the baton has passed from one director to the next. We are extremely appreciative of the support of the artists and of the many local (and some further) businesses who understand the crucial part that our artistic culture plays in the wider community.

Oil Painting & Sculpture Landscape paintings in oils of West Bay and the surrounding area of Dorset, extending to the Mediterranean. I try to capture the light and colour of the moment, evoking spirit of place. Painted ‘en plein air’. Still life and sculpture of human and animal forms in bronze and bronze resin.

Pottery I am displaying a selection of one-off earthenware jugs and bowls with individual designs and glazes. I think that domestic ware should be beautiful and fun to use and handle, and I hope that my pieces will be well used and loved.

Painting in Watercolours & Oils Drawings, oil paintings and watercolours inspired by the natural world and some new experimental works based on journeys undertaken this year.

Some ceramic sculptures to find in the pretty cottage garden. All welcome.

Painting Philippa Young: Her new collection of paintings is inspired by the surrounding landscape and sea.

Depending on the atmosphere, light and subject she will paint in either acrylics or watercolours, as for the style it can be impressionistic or realism, however the mood takes her, which ultimately is revealed in her paintings. Billie Willcocks: Sense of place and natural forms are what inspire me. The textural effects of time and weather creating their own composition encourages me to collect raw material and let them create a cameo of the wild landscape. I do not plan a piece – it just evolves.

west bay 16 Sladers Yard Contemporary British Art, Furniture & Craft Gallery Sladers Yard brings together some of the finest artists living and working in Dorset. Alex Lowery’s cool sophisticated paintings of the Dorset coast and of Bath reveal a distilled essence of place transformed by the cast of light. Richard Batterham is still making his deeply satisfying and internationally-renowned stoneware pots at 80.

Petter Southall’s lyrical steam-bent furniture combines design flair with exceptional craftsmanship and beautiful wood with natural finishes. Jocelyn Rodber Pardoe’s fine jewellery in gold, silver and bronze is set with personally-sourced precious stones. Prints, craft and accessories by leading artist-designers. Great café.

Some portraits have a South American connection.

central bridport 21 Björk Haraldsdóttir & David Smith Ceramics, Sculpture & Abstract Conceptual Drawing Portmanteau Gallery is delighted to host two contemporary artists for Bridport Open Studios: Björk Haraldsdóttir handbuilds in Stoneware clay. The work is tactile and many pieces are made to be touched and handled. Björk's architectural background and Nordic heritage is evident in the forms and patterning of her work.

David Smith makes abstract, often minimalist and repetitive, work that gently challenges the viewer's perceptions, asking what it is we really see – or don't see – when we look at the world around us or peer at an artwork.

Acrylic & Mixed Media Paintings Abstracts that explore the interplay of colour, texture and form. Ranging from small works in hand crafted frames, to larger canvasses. My artworks are currently exhibited in two UK galleries.

Mixed Media Harry is a multi-discipline artist and designer, currently focusing on ceramics and sculptural castings. His tactile pieces convey a long-held fascination in the form of the natural world.

Stained Glass "Originally stained glass windows were simply coloured light. Eventually church narrative was wanted. Although this was achieved, the beauty in the light became overshadowed by the story. But a stained glass window is in itself a luminous orchestra.

There is no need for stories." Henri Matisse

Sculpture, Contemporary Ceramics and Mixed Media in Concrete, Wood & Metal Intriguing contemporary sculptures that are thought-provoking and deliberately ambiguous. Ranging from intimate ceramic sculptures of a domestic scale to those that are far larger and more robust. Some larger-scale sculptures can be seen over the summer in Lyme Regis as part of the Arts Fest - Sculpture Trail.

Jewellery Design & Ceramic Artist Jennie Hanrahan is a hand builder, using coils, slabbing and pinching techniques to create unique pieces influenced by the local landscape, contours and landmarks, both ancient and modern. Specifically, the object as artefact situated in this landscape. I explore ideas of the lost, the found, the concealed and the revealed. Claire Whitfield works with recycled silver and gold, making one-off pieces of contemporary, bespoke jewellery. Her designs are simple, bold, often kinetic, using sea glass and pebbles in their natural state. Marks made during construction enhance the organic finish of each individual creation.

She welcomes commissions reworking clients’ own treasures.

He creates immersive, panoramic paintings that engage the viewer in an emotional relationship with the natural environment, drawing us into an evocative dreamscape where light, darkness and a transcendent experience of nature are embraced. He featured in the 2012 Portrait Prize at Bath’s Holburne Museum and in 2013 had a retrospective of 45 paintings ‘The Cinematic Landscape’ at the Octagon Gallery in Bath. His work was Highly Commended at the Marshwood Arts Awards at Bridport Arts Centre in 2015.
