Fiona Gray @ Spring Salon Sale

36 Lime Street-based artist Fiona Gray will be opening her studio doors for this weekend’s Spring Salon Sale and here is a sneak preview of some of the work she will have on sale.

This beautiful vintage style clock will enhance any room you choose to hang it in. The surface is printed paper glued onto a wooden backing & varnished. The clock hangs from a satin ribbon, with a selection of beads that compliment the overall design. The edges have been given an aged effect & a coloured tassel hangs from the base of the frame. You can choose either a heart or oval shaped clock. Also available as mirrors.

This is one of  the ‘Coastal Range’ of cards, featuring a photo of a handmade wooden fishing boat with colourful fabric bunting. The rest of the card is simply illustrated & features the words ‘you can have a little fishy….’. A whimsical card to give someone for any occasion.

The Spring Salon Sale takes place at venues across the Ouseburn on Sunday March 23rd, 2014 from 10am – 5 pm. Entrance is free and all are welcome. See www.ouseburnopenstudios.org for further details.

Sue Woolhouse @ Spring Salon Sale

Sue’s studio in Lime Street has been her base for the past twenty-three years. During this time she has undertaken commissions in Hospitals, Surgeries and Colleges including residencies within Schools, alongside private commissions as well as exhibition pieces.

Over the past year Sue has been developing the Ouseburn Glass Learners zone. Creating opportunities for those excited by glass to come and be taught by leading practitioners in her studio. The studio is a fantastic space for people interested in glass to come and experiment working with glass in an artist’s studio with access to professional tools and equipment.

Several Master classes in painting and casting were taught in 2013, this year we are building upon the programme with further classes. Sue is currently teaching ‘A Passion for Glass’ eight-week course with Dr Laura Johnston.

The walls will be decorated with paintings, prints (lino and giclee) and other interesting one off pieces. Also for sale will be cards, mugs and a variety of clocks (etc etc etc)!
