SHOREHAM ART GALLERY

Summer Sizzlers!

A celebration of colour, tactile textures and things to make you smile can be found at Shoreham Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden with an amazing and diverse selection of work by its twenty-four members plus monthly guest artists on show over the next few months.

In July we are showcasing work by silversmith Eve Claire Taylor who uses different techniques to highlight the beautiful silver decorative objects she creates such as fold forming, etching and enameling, especially with tableware including spoons and candlesticks. Gemstones and gold are used in her jewellery with a variation of natural forms inspired from around her home in the South Downs.

August guest is Carrie Donohoe, a contemporary textile artist whose work reflects her lifelong love of embroidery, textiles and fascination with mixed media techniques. Carrie’s exciting experiments with texture and colour effects, alongside hand and machine embroidery skills, are incorporated in her decorative handcrafted accessories, books and more.

We are featuring Edwin Locke in September, furniture maker extraordinaire, with his range of beautiful items to enhance the home, and in October we welcome back popular ceramicist, Jola Spytkowska, as guest artist with her quirky, colourful and unique pieces; mini beasts, bags of character, ceramic creatures and planters. Collectors of Jola’s work will be delighted. top: Eve Claire Taylor, Cloisonne Tile; far left: Edwin Locke, table and stools; left: Carrie Donohoe, mixed media and machine embroidered brooches; bottom: Eve Claire Taylor, Cloisonne necklace
