Lindisfarne Gospels - 1000 Creations

After much debating with fellow intellectuals and artisans I have taken up my friends suggestion for the collective noun for a group of artists - 'a palette of artists'. Fab isn't it? Thank you Helen Busby.

 

So here are some photos of a 'palette of artists' gathered round the table at NeST discussing the Lindisfarne Gospels - 1000 Creations with the lovely Lindsey Starborn chairing the meeting and having the awesome task of keeping us creative types in order! Well done I say. Also a big thank you to NeST for facilitating the exhibition.

 



So all we have to do now is come up with the art work. There will be plenty to do organising this  event - hopefully everyone will enjoy the hands on experience of showing their work and being involved in such a wonderful project. The deadline for work to be submitted will be in early July in order for the gallery vetting panel to consider each artist's work in good time and hopefully without undue pressure.

The exhibition is open to all forms of art - sculpture, printmaking, film, photography,poetry,painting etc.

If you would like to be involved/included on the mailing list for further updates and information please email lindsey@lindseystarbornart.com

Am looking forward to getting involved in the Lindisfarne Gospels project. From 1 July to 30 September 2013, one of the world’s greatest books, the Lindisfarne Gospels will be on show in a unique exhibition at Palace Green Library.There is a meeting at NeST in Barnard Castle to network with other artists interested, so if any of you out there would like to join in come along at 10.30 a.m and you will be made to feel most welcome.

 

 

 

 

 

Have just recieved my order of personalised mugs from Muglamania using some of my artwork. I am rather happy with them so I thought I'd post them on here and would welcome any feedback. In order to cover costs I would have to charge £10 per mug which includes a white gift box. I am also considering expresso cups and saucers and glass paperweights.

Oh my goodness, rather shocked to see I haven't posted a blog since 11th February. Must be because I've been so busy! So I had better update myself.

As you may have read from my last blog I had a painting accepted for the Durham Open Art Exhibition, and yesterday was the preview and official opening. This is at the beautiful Bowes Museum so if you're in the area get yourself there, lots of wonderful artwork to be seen.

All that excitement aside I have been busy working on a piece for my sister-in-law's 40th birthday. We spent a week in New Quay, Wales last year with family so I decided this would make a nice gift. Here it is in progress so watch this space.

Have also nearly finished a small triptych from a painting I did early 2012 of a sunset out the front of our home.
