Sarah Wilkinson
Art/Textile Exhibition

Sarah is an emerging textile designer, whose work has an innovative and distinctive style and approach to both painting and design. Sarah studied Textile Design for Fashion and Interiors at Bath Spa University. With a passion for colour and print, she specialises in large scale, hand painted wall and floor art with an ability to adapt her skills between painting and textiles utilising her bold designs in a variety of textile processes.

This exhibition showcases Sarah’s revival of 18th century oil cloth techniques, hand painting on canvass with a modern twist on an old method. Sarah takes her inspiration predominantly from human and animal forms, or intricate details from nature; translating them into stylised paintings that are rich in colour, with a playful composition and narrative.

Sarah works from her studio in Bristol, designing for her own brand and working on freelance projects such as the recent SS19 collection with Circleline design studio in London. Sarah’s work was featured at premier vision 2019 as part of the main fabric forums.

Sarah offers bespoke commissions for high end, one-off pieces. These statement pieces bring individuality and design flair to homes and offices.

Sarah’s exhibition Maajabu runs at the Red Brick Building from Wednesday 9th October – Saturday 30th November.

A4/Letter + What If? - Exhibitions Private View

A4/Letter + What If?
Private View (open to everyone)
Art Exhibitions

Private View: Tuesday 3rd December, 6pm – 8pm

A4/Letter
A4 is a familiar paper size in the UK at 210mm x 297mm (8.3in x 11.7in). In the US the standard letter paper is 8.5in x 11in (215.9mm x 279.4mm). Like many points of comparison between the UK and the US it is similar, but different. In our respective countries we perceive of this size and shape as standard.
Definitions such as ‘large’ or ‘small’ are relative, but when discussing paper are often assumed to be in relation to an A4/Letter standard. Similarly, a square or circular piece of paper, or one that is excessively long in relation to its width, is seen as ‘unusual’. Yet seen together, A4 and Letter paper show their idiosyncrasies, revealing that ‘standard’ is an arbitrary construct.

Members of the public were invited to produce a piece of work using a ‘standard’ piece of paper (A4 if living in the UK and Letter if living in the US). Suggestions included drawings, paintings, prints and collages, as well as three dimensional or time-based (e.g. a film or sound work).
Participants were encouraged to challenge or highlight the impact, or ‘invisibility’, of a standard size, shape and medium. Or explore the nature of difference and relations between nations (particularly pertinent right now in both the US and UK). Or, to simply acknowledge the dimensions through the composition of the work.

Exhibited together, these works from the US and UK help to draw attention to the arbitrariness of the ‘standard’. It also implies how different perceptions from different parts of the world are constructed in part from the familiar things around us.

What If?
What If? is an exhibition of tests, experiements and resolved pieces by Fine Art students from University Centre Somerset.

Both A4/Letter and What If? run at the Red Brick Building from Wednesday 4th December 2019 – Sunday 2nd February 2020.
Open daily, 10am – 5pm

A4/Letter is a collaborative exhibition between University Centre Somerset (Taunton) and the University of Utah (Salt Lake City). The exhibition will move on to Salt Lake City after it finishes in Glastonbury.

Galactic Art Workshop
2022-10-22 10:00 - 16:00 | The Red Brick Building, Morland Road, Glastonbury, Somerset, BA6 9FT, United Kingdom
Galactic Art Workshop
With Fay Vale

This Galactic Art workshop begins with a short meditation, followed by energy work to recognise energies coming in. After a lunch break, Fay will guide you in tuning in to the planets and the universe to enable you to connect to cosmic beings. Fay will then lead a drawing session, in which you will draw with the less dominate hand, to see what comes through.

About Fay Vale:
I call my work Galactic Art because it comes from other planets & dimensions
It all goes back to July 2007 when I, along with a friend, had a close encounter with a UFO. The experience has changed my life completely in a really positive and especially artistic way. My work began two weeks after the encounter and I have been drawing and channelling messages ever since.
Prior to the experience, I never had any desire to produce art, and as a busy wife and mother it wasn’t even in my thoughts. I have also never received any training in this field, so when it came into my life one morning, I was completely surprised and quite shaken. I just woke up and had an overwhelming urge to take a paper and pencil and draw.
I knew the art was coming through me rather than from me because it just flowed, without conscious thought or interruption. What was particularly surprising was that I was using my left hand, though I am right-handed, so naturally it would have made more sense to use my dominant hand to write or draw.
Since 2007 my work has developed as the connection has become stronger. I am always happy to share my experience with the others so please contact me with any questions, or if you have a similar story you wish to share.

Cost
£45 per person. All materials are provided.
Limited spaces available

Intuitive Painting Workshop
Create Vulva Art

Treat yourself to the ultimate self-care for Valentines by creating your own yoni art!

2-Day Workshop: Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th February
10am – 4pm

Learn step-by-step techniques with acrylic paints, including how to layer and create depth and movement, with Visionary Womb Artist; Sinead Holly Woodnutt.

From the artist:
We will let go of expectations, be brave with colour and bring joy into throwing paint around the canvas!
This is the exact way that I create my own paintings, its an intuitive way to paint with no fixed beginning or end vision. I shall show you how to find your images within the painting, and find your own Vulva shapes.
During this two day workshop, we will not be working from life. You are welcome to bring in your own yoni images if you have them. I will have a great book of vulva drawings on hand for inspiration, or you can work from the imagination by tapping into the cosmic portal of all creation (which I did a lot with my Viva La Vulva painting series).
You shall paint over three canvases the first day, pure joyful and free expression with colour and mark making! This way you have room to breathe on the canvases by working on three at once, rather than one fixed one. I will show you the magic rubber tools I use to create interesting patterns and shapes in the early layers of the painting. You can write messages, embody the canvas with poetry or collage an image onto the canvas before painting.
The second day you will choose one canvas to bring to completion. I will be there to guide you and help you find your images, and share techniques to keep the painting loose but also with a finished feel.
We will be in the beautiful, light Studio space at the Red Brick Building, Glastonbury.
This Vulva painting can be your devotion to yourself and the beauty and power you embody. It can be a devotion to the divine creatrix, creator of all.
You can expect journaling and painting in a very supportive environment.
At the end, you will go home with three canvases: one brought to completion and two to finish at home if you wish.
All levels of painting welcome and all people welcome.
Please find examples of my work at www.sineadhollywoodnutt.com or Instagram @creativewombheart
I cannot wait see all your Vulva creations!

18’s and over only.

Price
£120 total for 2-day workshop
