Teignmouth's iconic building on the seafront The Beachcomber was the location for another curated art show in September 2022. Stunning sea views and ample space to display artworks to their best advantage despite no electricity.
Six artist and makers take up residence at The Beachcomber on Teignmouth's beachfront for seven days only. Saturday 10th to Thursday 16th September. Working around the theme of flotsam and detritus Robin Shelton, Anthony Wong and Alison Shelton Brown will be combing the beach daily for materials to incorporate into new work, inspired by a different coastline and location.
Flotsam at the Malthouse Gallery, Lyme Regis July 2022. Ten artists / makers featuring etching, painting, ceramics, jewellery, textiles, lighting, basketry and curated by Alison Shelton Brown. A wonderful selection of quality pieces themed around the title Flotsam and What was Left Behind in the wonderful Town Mill courtyard gallery.
The very lovely Heather Matthew joined me to visit MAKE Southwest in Bovey Tracey. Here I talk about a show I curated for Design-Nation Cornwall & Devon and explain some of the work by the members.
Design-Nation has put together a short video on me for the 'Our Journey' show currently on at The Hub in Sleaford, Lincs, featuring twenty four other members of Design-Nation UK. This time Sea Serpent, two Ghostfishing necklaces and Mackerel Container get an outing far across the other side of the country. See you in April!
My first PV for what seems years being held in one of my favourite venues at OXO Barge House - a huge five floor warehouse with rustic walls and windows, rough floors and wide spaces, and hosted by Cluster Crafts.
This September I will be taking part in Craft Festival at Bovey Tracey, along with five other members of Design-Nation Cornwall & Devon. It's a new departure for me as I don't really make really commercial work, but it's worth trying something new and it is a good venue.
