A not-to-be-missed special evening of artists’ demonstrations, in association with the annual Artworks exhibition at Blackthorpe Barns. This special event is sponsored by The Curwen Press. New to Artworks in 2007, the Artists Making an Exhibition of Themselves evening (AMET for short) was a resounding success.

on Saturday 1st October 2011, from 6pm to 9pm.

AMET is a special, one-off event when some of our Artworks artists set-up mini working studios in front of their work in the Artworks exhibition at Blackthorpe Barn, to demonstrate the media, materials & techniques used in their art, ready to answer any questions that visitors to the exhibition may have about their art.

The atmosphere is always bustling, creative & very inspiring – and refreshments are also available in the adjoining cafe gallery. In previous years our artist demonstrations have included:

Pastel Painting NOT Drawing

Taking a (wax) line for a walk with brilliant dye colours

Wire Sculptures

Watercolour Landscapes

Lost Wax

Transferring textures and images onto surfaces

Linoprinting

Acrylics in Action

Flowers in Watercolour

Constructing a Collagraph Plate

Printing on Slate

This special event proves very popular year after year and the next Artworks AMET evening is 
on Saturday 1st October 2011
 from 6pm-9pm, at Blackthorpe Barn – a special date for the Artworks diary!

We also have artist demonstrations throughout the Artworks exhibition so please follow our new blog and check back in early September 2011 to find out who will be demonstrating on the days you might like to visit the Artworks exhibition!

The Artworks 12th annual exhibition runs from 10 September – 2 October 2011, open 10am – 5pm daily, at Blackthorpe Barn, Rougham, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP30 9JG. Admission is FREE.
