Avril Nicol, Project Co-ordinator FVOS This year we are very excited to be celebrating the 5th year of Forth Valley Open Studios, it’s amazing to think how the event has grown since it’s inception back in 2010. We would like to give a massive thank you to all who have attended the event over the past years and offer a very warm welcome to those who are visiting for the ﬁrst time. Your participation is so very much appreciated by those who make the event happen; we the organisers, and of course, the artists and makers of the Forth Valley Open Studios event. The Forth Valley area has been an ideal location to organise an event such as FVOS due to the abundance of creative local people. There is a wealth of both established and emerging artists and makers, willing to share an art experience with those who choose to come and visit our community based event. We hope visitors to the event will enjoy discovering the broad variety of interesting and inspiring studios, galleries and pop-up exhibitions. This year, we believe we have gathered a wonderful collection of participating artists and makers to make this year’s event an exciting and diverse one. This year, we are delighted to be working alongside the Macrobert Arts Centre for the ﬁrst time. We would like to express our gratitude to them for hosting the showcase exhibition of FVOS participants in their wonderful exhibition space. We would also like to show our appreciation to Sterling Furniture for supporting the showcase exhibition. The contribution you have given allows for an integral part of the event to happen. Thank you. Finally, biggest thanks of all to the artists and makers of FVOS who open their doors and their art for all to see and appreciate. Truly, without you, the event could not happen. We believe the event is of great importance to the communities of the Forth Valley area, offering an opportunity to talk about and experience art. Most of all though, we aim to offer an enjoyable event for all. We hope that our 5th year is the most enjoyable yet. Have fun everybody!

Lys Hansen, Honorary Chair FVOS

Congratulations to all artists and participants who are taking part in Forth Valley Open Studios. This is our ﬁfth year and I know that our continued success is due to the hard work and joy that goes into all studios and venues. Engaging with the community is good. The love of making art is a very special gift and it is a privilege to share it. This a very special year in Scotland, so let us celebrate our gifts and our heritage. We are delighted to be able to have our showcase exhibition at the MacRobert Arts Centre this year. This is a popular venue for those who live in the area and for other visitors from abroad. Many thanks and congratulations are due to our Project Manager, Avril Nicol and her team for their efﬁcient and streamlined work on the brochure and website. It is good here to mention the beautiful new gallery &Collective in Bridge of Allan, and also new studios complex at Marcelle House, Marshill, Alloa. Best wishes to both. I wish all of you a successful Open Studios week and I hope that being part of the artistic community in the Forth Valley area makes you feel it is very worth while.

The exhibits at West Moss-side will transport you on journeys far and wide. Our three regular artists explore the theme of Journeys, and they are joined by Kate Sankey, Georgia Crook, Jill Dow and Dorothy Parker. To discover creative art, paintings, drawings and installations, just make the journey down the lane. Come and share our personal explorations expressed in a range of media and forms.

Each piece of Charmian’s work contains a journey whether literal, metaphorical or both. Her physical journeys are mostly made on foot, her eyes ﬁxed less on the horizon than on what lies near her feet as she seeks out traces of lives lived; old utensils and rusty tools, born again as a piece of art. She frequently utilises her own handmade plant papers in her works.

Darren’s journeys have taken him around the globe in search of wildlife, and his award winning paintings display his ﬁrst-hand experience and knowledge of the subject. From arctic polar bears to tropical dolphins his imagery transports the viewer to a wilder world. ‘My works reﬂect the animals and landscapes I’ve had the privilege to encounter, and are my attempts to share wonder of nature.’

Directions: The West Moss-side farm road is on the left just past the de-restriction speed sign - 1/4 mile out of Thornhill village on the Aberfoyle road (A873). It is one mile - at the road end. Please don’t rely on sat nav beyond Thornhill village!

Unique jewellery, hand crafted from wire and glass beads that have been created by some of the UK’s most talented bead artists. Our ‘Rock Pool’ range is reminiscent of the sea shore. Each bead is a work of art in its own right. Hold them up to the light and look inside! Come and choose your own beads which can be made into your design. Earrings, pendants, bracelets, watches, necklaces and more.

For the ﬁfth year, the Font of Art Exhibition is being held in the unique atmospheric setting of St Saviour’s Church. A number of local artists come together to display their work. Textiles, crafts, cards and paintings in a variety of styles, mediums, sizes and prices can all be viewed under one roof. The mix of artists is different each year but there is always something to suit every taste.

Sara graduated with an honours degree in printed textile design from Duncan of Jordanstone in 2012. Since then she has focused on creating abstract artwork using a variety of mediums including chalk pastel, pencil, and gouache. Her inspiration derives mainly from the human form and the textural and linear marks on the body. Printed textiles and recent artwork will be on display.

& Collective Contemporary Art Gallery host a new featured artist every six weeks, their work will be exhibited within the Gallery and available to purchase along with our constantly changing selection of original hand-made art works, pieces of jewellery, ceramics, prints, glass works and contemporary crafts. In addition & Collective offer a programme of art workshops. & Collective is a collaborative project brought together by founder members and Project Coordinators of both FVOS and BofA Contemporary Arts Festival.

Jai Llewellyn‘s paintings and prints are about the process of mark making, the history of a line seen through an abstract picture of the future. Llewellyn often works between painting and printmaking, both disciplines informing each other, both focusing in on relationships, juxtapositions of old and new, growth and decay, construction and deconstruction. The result is a wonderful abstract expressionism that relies on graphic mark making and a clean use of line.

Karen Banks is a ceramic artist who expresses her love of the natural world and the vessel forms created by nature, by producing handbuilt pieces with an organic quality, marked by the elemental forces of ﬁre and smoke – she has a particular delight for smoke ﬁring her work. Karen’s inspirations come from the beauty in found objects. Unearthing pieces of broken ceramic particularly interests her, objects made of clay which come from the earth, returned to the earth to be discovered like a piece from some historical jigsaw.

Directions: & Collective sits in the center of the main shopping street in Bridge of Allan, Henderson Street which is also BofA’s main thoroughfare, the A9.

Please see the website for the current program. Free tea and coffee will be available all week.

I paint using a mix of acrylics and oil pastels. My subject matter ranges from landscapes, harbour scenes and ﬁgurative and has a naïve quality, where my own interpretation of past places and memories evolve.
