INVITE TO OUR PREVIEW

T

Created in Colour starts off with a preview on Saturday 24th October at 1pm at The Whitaker Museum and Art Gallery, Rawtenstall, BB4 6RE. 01706218858.www.thewhitaker.org

All welcome.

Cafe on site and the Museum is set in lovely gardens. The East Lancs Railway is close by.

The exhibition then continues until the 6th December.

Our exhibition is a duet that follows on from the successful installation Fashioned in Silk at Macclesfield Silk museum in 2014. The installation of ethereal silk dresses inspired us to develop the
themes used and Created in Colour was born. Come and see the dresses and then walk through into an explosion of colour.

5 weeks to go

At our last monthly meeting we shared our latest work with each other. As it is only five weeks to go before 'Created in Colour' we are almost there. Here are a few sneak closeups.

Terri Jones' progress with experiments for 'CREATED IN COLOUR'

So much work gets rejected when you are creating a new piece of work for an exhibition. Come and see what makes it into Terri Jone's final piece when "Fashioned in Silk, Created in Colour", opens at the Whittaker Gallery, Rawtenstall on October 24th 2015

                                

Terri commented on her progress.

The first part of my piece is complete and I can't put off starting the second part any longer. for this section I will be working with paper and I must confess to being right outside my comfort zone. The photo shows my early experiments with pleating and folding. Not too difficult when you are working with small pieces, but a different matter when you come to scale it up.

                               

Terri has been experimenting with different types of paper and wondering how to utilise the various types of pleating she has been experimenting with. She has also been thinking about colour so that will be her next step before deciding on the final form for her exhibition piece for "Created in Colour" in the autumn. 

NANTWICH MUSEUM EXHIBITION

This time next week we will hanging our pieces at Nantwich Museum. The above image is a closeup of Jackie Brough's installation. Come along after the 14th March to see the full exhibition.
