Christmas
2004 at The Paw Gallery Wivenhoe Opens
Sat 27th November to Sunday 19th December 2004 I can’t believe that this will be my
fourth Christmas exhibition in Wivenhoe already.
The first one was in 2001 when Jamie Dodds encouraged me to
give it a whirl and I shared his studio in St. John’s Road.
It is thanks to him that the Paw Gallery was started.
So what’s on the menu this time?
Mostly your favourite exhibitors to date, plus some rather good new
ones.
Jewellery is always very popular and
there will be silver work by Richard Whitehouse, delightfully
colourful and funky earrings by Rosie Taylor and lacquered copper
work by Stephen Galloway-Whitehead.
For the joy of pure decoration there is
intricately made textile pictures by Christine Fenn, who has real
mastery over her textiles which she uses so skilfully that she could be
painting. Much respected
Wivenhoe artist Emma Cameron will be showing her work for the first
time at the Paw Gallery. If its furniture that interests you there
will be hand crafted chairs by Jim Parsons who makes traditional
designs with a modern twist. Kevin
Lucas has made painted pieces with colours chosen by his very talented
wife Jackie. Chas Crocker,
who works in oak, is yet to decide what he will be making! Ceramics always make a wonderful present,
there is nothing better than Sylvia Dale’s stylish earthenware
jugs. Just look carefully at
their profile and you will see why her work is so highly sortafter. Meriel Ensom’s painted driftwood simply gets better and
better, whilst Suzie
Wilson’s embroidered cushions are becoming collector’s items. Is there anyone I’ve missed – of
course there is, come along and check it out for yourself. Alison Kent The paw gallery web site: www.thepawgallery.co.uk
