Art Fair 2017 - News & Gallery
Visitors to the Art Fair this May were treated to another hugely successful event. The exhibition of paintings once again showcased the best work of local artists. Visitors throughout the weekend were invited to submit their votes for the "Best In Show". "Grandma's Sunday Best", a pastel painting by Caroline Lewis was the firm favourite.
For those visitors who took part in the "Portrait of Artists" quiz on the preview night, the following images show the identities of those famous artists.

Popular WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOPS were run by SHIRLEY DAVIES DEW and JENNY ULYATT on the Saturday. Both workshops drew beginners and more experienced artists who investigated some new watercolour techniques in their paintings.
Inspirational MINI DEMONSTRATIONS were given in the exhibition hall on both Saturday and Sunday.
PAM CHILTON created a wonderful picture of an owl using needle felting techniques.
THOMAS RIMMINGTON showed how to build a portrait in oil.
CATH INGLIS gave two lively demonstrations using pastels. She created a vivid landscape and a delightful painting of a hare.
SARAH HILL worked on a dramatic watercolour painting of the huge waves created by a stormy sea, breaking over the quay beside a lighthouse. She combined the use of masking fluid on wet paper, a method previously unknown to many of the fascinated members of her audience.
