A preview exhibition for our 5^th Sock Fair!

A celebration of up to 5 handpicked artists who will share the sock gallery for the weeks leading up to the fair. This is set to be a dynamic use of the space. You will have the chance to meet the artists themselves on the weekend of the fair- 23rd and 24^th March 2013, when they will be there in person.

The five artists exhibiting in the gallery are... 

 
Anna Michalska Tomajer
www.michalska.co.uk
Anna’s work is a synergy between print, graphic, mixed media and painting. Within her work she enjoys using the forces of colour and subtleties of line. Exhibiting and living in various countries has enabled Anna to absorb much of the life around her (the nature, colour, people, culture and Landscape) and transfer these somehow into my work. My paintings are layers of colour and materials and my serigraphy are more precise and technical.

Helen Hallows
www.helenhallows.com
Helen is inspired by the rhythms of the seasons, her work tries to capture time through a process of drawing, collage and stitch. There is a strong narrative reinforced by the choice of vintage and found papers. Alongside originals, she sells cards, ceramic pieces and limited edition prints.

Myra Hutton
www.myrahutton.co.uk
Myra’s work is a traditional craft with a contemporary twist. She creates rich embellished hand felted landscapes interpreting colour, shape and texture to capture the essence of a place or scene. Myra also uses screen print/dye and stitch in an illustrative way, sometimes combining with felt work.

Alison D'Oyley
www.alisondoyley.co.uk
Alison’s screenprints, linocuts and mixed media drawings are inspired by architectural forms, found both within the countryside and urban areas of Leicestershire.

  

Jill York
www.jillyork.co.uk
Jill paint’s portraits/dancers and animals in acrylic and mixed media on paper in a vibrant fairly loose style.
