Spring was definitely in the air yesterday. The daffodils were right on the brink of opening at Prema, a charming arts centre and cafe in the village of Uley, near Dursley in Gloucestershire.
I was lucky enough to spend the day here, setting up a new 'Girls Who Draw' exhibition. As jobs go, this was a pretty cushy one. I had to endure the terribly comfy sofa, and delicious treats from the cafe, including this:
A cheese and cumin muffin of extraordinary proportions, bought for me by Karoline Rerrie.
Prema really is a special place, based in a converted chapel, it provides exhibition space, workshops and a hub of creativity. Oh and great baking, did I mention that??!
Our show runs from 3rd March until 13th April. Karoline has filled the entrance to the centre with a folk art forest made from her wonderful prints, and this runs for the same dates.
I've been making some Valentine's cards for the forthcoming festivities. There are 3 new designs, all available from my 'Not on the High Street' page. Just follow the link, delivery is free!
The wonderful Jennie Ing has been adding to her collection of reduction linocut prints of Birmingham landmarks. This series of photographs illustrates the different colour layers, and how the block is cut away, stage by stage.
Jennie will be exhibiting these prints on Saturday 30th November, at the Midland Arts Centre, as part of the 'Marketplace' contemporary craft event.
The prints are in very limited editions, so pick one up quick!
The fifth postcard book by 'Girls Who Draw', a small collaborative
group of female illustrators. This years theme, 'Masquerade' has been
illustrated by Alys Paterson, Aurora Cacciapuoti, Beth Morrison, Helen
Entwisle, Karoline Rerrie, Kate Sutton, Kristyna Baczynski, Lee-May
Foster Wilson, Ruth Green, Sandra Dieckmann, Sarah Lippett and Yee Ting
Kuit.
You can purchase one for £8 from my 'Not on the High Street' page by following this link: http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/ruthgreendesign/product/limited-edition-postcard-book-masquerade
The studio is full of these new cards for Christmas today. All hand printed, and sold in packs of 5, there are 2 different designs available from my 'Not on the High St' page.
Hip hip hooray! So pleased to see this design I did for Marks and Spencer last year on all of this cereal packaging! I was walking around the store with a big smile on my face!
