Shallal has expanded and although i hear the news from groups and artists it is so much more than i can pay homage to or record fully and yet i don't want to miss capturing them so...
After Anna's exhibition we have the shared Studio Artists Exhibition which came so closely after October Back Lane West i knew i had set us a 'task'.
We managed so well collectively collecting work and i called it a 'Showing' not an exhibition as wasn't sure till the last how we were presenting the varied work. The beautiful high ceiling of Grow box cafe enables you to hang more work and also need to find someone tall enough to reach ...thank you to Kerry's husband Warren for 'stepping up' and helping us at the end of his day, and to Colin for coming back again.
It's a lovely show i hope you get to see it.
Good news that Eden plans a solo show in St Ives this summer, her work is compelling and beautiful. We hope they do turn her pictures into card and prints for everyone to enjoy.
Honor Cicely Crane had a residency in our studio the first of many independent artists, we hope, using the studio.
"Dear Shallal,Thank you kindly for offering me your electric studio over the October half-term holiday. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend in Redruth and the opportunity to exercise my creative ideas in your spacious studio. After graduating from art-school, I have faced multiple challenges in securing a space to explore and develop my practice within. I feel very grateful for Shallal’s generosity and it enabling my practice by allowing me to revisit ideas and progress them in an inspiring space."
Mel plans to use it in the Christmas Holidays and we have six new artists join our groups recently.
Helen is also taking it over for a solo show in the Christmas Open Studios at Krowji.
Many thanks to Helen and Therese for re painting white our colourful ( from dripping paint ) walls.
