So, during August we will be open from Monday - Thursday as normal but from Friday to Sunday it will be by appointment only.

So if you want to come to the gallery on Friday, Saturday or Sunday you'll need

UNTIL COVID HAS FINALLY PACKED ITS BAGS, TO PROTECT STAFF
AND CUSTOMERS, MASKS ARE COMPULSORY IN THE GALLERY

So Much New Work to Show!

If only we had a bigger gallery; we've had a great week receiving new work from various artists, we'll highlight some on this newsletter, but if there's work you'd like to see by a favourite artists, please contact us and we'll see if we can help you, and if possible, send you more images.

Suzanne Lawrence

Suzanne has been out on her local patch capturing the mood of the marsh and sea. This new vibrant collection should resonate with anyone familiar with this particular stretch of the North Norfolk coastline.

Meg Foster

We're looking forward to working once again with this incredible artist. Meg's been a little distracted of late as she's one of the volunteers jabbing our arms with vaccines. But after taking a break from painting, Meg is definitely back and working on new environment/folk inspired collections. Meg's work is very much about technique, these works have a sculptural feel as she layers pigment and wax and scrapes back to the specially made birch panels. The blend of cold waxes, natural pigments and resins really are something you'll need to see and touch to appreciate fully.

What Do You See, mixed media with cold wax on panel, 90x100cm, £2,450
Hind's Feet, mixed media with cold wax on panel, 60x70cm, £1850
Deep Calls to Deep, mixed media with cold wax on panel, 60x70 cm, £1850
below: On The Horizon I & II, mixed media with cold wax on panel, 12.5x60cm + 10x50cm £393/£325

Jo Lawrence

These beautiful, timeless canvases have a mesmeric feel, with the methodical building of glazes and pigment, this technique is impossible to capture on film. As well as these large pieces, Jo has delivered 4 smaller paintings, Saltwater Kiss for example, which you can see on her webpage.

As well as the featured artists, we have so much new work, including woodcarvings, ceramics and hand-made prints. As many will know, the road can be tricky in August, our advice is to park in the large free carpark by the village hall (now with toilets). And if the High Street is too busy, please remember the Old Woman's Lane past the Three Swallow Pub.

Don't forget you can find us on Twitter Instagram and Facebook.

Please remember to wear a mask in the gallery and where
possible be mindful of others around you.

And finally, here's a special shout out for Robert and Sue Gillmor. Robert finally comes out of hospital on Tuesday after a 5 month spell inside and Sue has a special birthday on Monday. If anyone wants to pass on messages to either, I'm sure they'd be very welcome!
