Meet the Artist: daily presentations at ARTWORKS 2015

Wednesday 23rd September 2015: Norfolk artist Roger Gamble is back at the ARTWORKS exhibition today, demonstrating acrylic painting techniques. Roger will be in the barn with ‘paintings in progress’ for visitors to see, to talk about art, ideas and inspiration. This is an ideal opportunity to find out more about acrylic paints as a medium, types of canvas, mixing colours, paint brushes, the stages of a painting, painting techniques, paint effects.

Wednesday 23 September 2015: Roger Gamble – Painting in Acrylics!

Roger is well-regarded for his colourful canvas paintings. Recent paintings focus on the landscapes of Norfolk.

Much of my interest nowadays involves the possibilities offered by the strong horizontals and wide spaces of Breckland, the Fens, and the coastlines of Norfolk.

Today at ARTWORKS 2015: Cathy D’Arcy – how to make a happy can topper in clay

Meet the Artist: daily presentations at ARTWORKS 2015

Today, Tuesday 22 September 2015, Cathy D’Arcy will be in the main exhibition area demonstrating how to make a ‘happy cane topper’ in clay. Wonderful garden accessories to bring some cheer to winter gardens. Fun for children to make. Drop by and get inspired – with free entry to the exhibition.

Cathy explains: These are ‘cane toppers’ to go on the sticks in the garden to stop you getting a poke in the eye when bending down near a plant support stick. Or put them in flower pots in the winter so there is something fun to look at when the plants are not in flower.

Cathy D’Arcy will be working in the main gallery of the ARTWORKS exhibition from 10am to 4pm.

In addition to her work as an artist, Liz also runs Obelon Arts, which produces theatre shows and organises arts projects. She is also a member of the Contemporary Glass Society.

I enjoy working in glass because of its versatility: transparency, opacity, colour, two or three dimensionality, capacity to ‘hold’ or reflect light. It offers an artist many metaphors due to its fragility, strength, sharpness and associations. I am inspired by fragments of stories often discovered in books, toys, archival film footage, photographs which I have inherited.

Liz Waugh McManus will be at the ARTWORKS exhibition from 10am – 4pm.
