We Make – Monday 2nd – Friday 6th August: During the first week The Button Box & Easel presents an exhibition/shop featuring the work of local artists Anna Cole, Paula Jackson, Adrian Moule and members of the Phoenix Art Group.
Each of the artist’s individual style is completely different, with the inspiration for their work drawn from subjects such as nostalgia & childhood, as well as florals, local landscapes and maps. This seemingly random combination is brought together by the three artists shared love of art as a method of relaxation, art for improving well-being, and art as fun!
The work featured will include textiles, embroidery, and accessories alongside painted, drawn and printed works.
You Make – Monday 9th – Friday 13th August: Following on from the exhibition is a workshop programme that gives you the chance to make your own! There will be daily drop in sessions from 10am – 3pm, during which the artists will be available to provide mini workshops on various printing and textile techniques, such as screen printing, lino printing, collagraph printing, wet felting, needle felting, appliqué, and making your own accessories. Drop in sessions are free, although there may be a small charge for some materials.
In addition there will also be a programme of evening workshops, from Monday – Wednesday, where you can spend a more intensive session learning a specific technique or process. These workshops will cost £12, and places are limited so they need to be booked in advance, either in person, or via email. Stay tuned for more details of these workshops.
This is an exciting opportunity to see some of the fantastic work of some of Teesside’s local artists, as well as learn some new techniques and create some art of your own!
This blog will document the process of applying for and organising such an event, and will include more information on each of the artists involved, as well as lots of information about the workshops, and how to book places.
