EALING ART TRAIL – In 3 Weeks Time

BEATING the drum

The BEAT Ealing Art Trail event is gathering momentum and is taking place in 3 weeks time.

BEAT – Borough of Ealing Art Trail, is taking place over 2 weekends in September 6th – 8th and 13th – 15th.  I am delighted to be taking part for the third time this year. I will be at   VENUE 75  in the Brochure..

25,000 brochures have been distributed far and wide, and we are also keen to get them out and about in other London Boroughs.  Its a lovely pocket size A6 full colour brochure that shows all the artists with an individual profile, information on opening times, maps and anything else you may need to know about the event. If you want a brochure or if you can take a batch to your work place, school, community group, sports team etc. just give me a shout. The more we get out the better. We have 200 artists displaying their artwork in 80 locations so there is bound to be something for everyone to enjoy.

There is also a great website that has all the above info for visitors and you can download a brochure. Have a look and start planning your route, make sure that you include Venue 75 please! www.ealingbeat.org.uk

I have a new selection of mosaics to show this year along with my new range of coasters. Various pieces will be for sale, you can commission a piece of mosaic art or put your name down for a Beginners’ Mosaic Lesson.

I will also have a new “exhibition piece” on display which always prompts lots of questions on what materials and techniques I use. Part of the fun of BEAT is the visitors can talk to the artists about their work and see the environment they work in. I really enjoy that part as well as I love chatting about mosaics to anyone and everyone!

So put the date in your diary and come along and have a great few days out in our lovely Borough of Ealing, viewing some great artwork.

A NEW RANGE

Well I am delighted that summer has eventually arrived and the sun is shining. I love being in the garden and eating out in the evening. I hope you are all enjoying it as well.

I am delighted to report a new range – COASTERS featuring my mosaics. 

BIRDS & FLOWERS,     THE GREEN MAN,      HOPPER THE FROG

MATT TREE,  GRAPES & IVY,   GREEK FISHING BOAT,  SHINY TREE

They are 9cms diameter. I sell them at £4 each or 4 for £15 plus postage. Perfect for your afternoon cuppa or a glass of wine in the garden.

They were made for me by the lovely people at Creative Forge. This small Northumberland merchandising company was formed by Zoe, Steven and fellow artists who were keen to promote their work with quality products. Most companies insist you buy in bulk but for individual artists like ourselves who want to try out a range, it is too restrictive. What is the solution – create your own company, which is just what they have done!  Check them out, they are really helpful, friendly and create lovely products in small (or large) quantities.

If you want to order any of my  coasters just CONTACT ME 

 

BEAT – Ealing Art Trail continues to take shape and the Committee has been working hard. As you read this 25,000 brochures are being printed. They will land on my doorstep soon and then the fun will start distributing them all with the team.  BEAT Ealing Art Trail takes place on 6-8th and 13-15th September this year. We have 200 artists in over 78 venues so this 4th BEAT is shaping up very well. Do let me know if you have an outlet for brochures – an Art of Craft Group, Book Club, Yoga/Pilates Group – anyone that may be interested in coming along and seeing the amazing talent that Ealing artists will be putting on display. BEAT provides a rare opportunity to talk to the artists about their work, technique and inspiration. There is also an opportunity to buy an original piece of artwork as well as exploring the beautiful Borough of Ealing.

Enjoy the summer  now it has arrived – maybe with a nice glass of Pimm’s  resting on a Mosaic Coaster!
