Open Studios 2021

Hello! Welcome back! Just to say you may not know this but due to all the disruption caused by trying to keep Covid infections at bay this years’ West Berkshire and North Hampshire Open Studios has been split into Two Parts this year. The first part was run during May and was something of a trial run for the Part Two which is running from 18^thSeptember to the 10^th October 2021, which also has its usual Insight Exhibition, which wasn’t possible to hold in May; that is to say, it’s on now! and Michael is participating by holding his Open Studios event on Friday 1st, Saturday 2nd, Sunday 3rd, and Monday 4th at Studio 21, 21 Patrick Road RG4 8DD, and you will be made to feel very welcome when you visit between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. every day, and also by appointment via his Open Studios web site page https://www.open-studios.org.uk/entry/2021/michael-norcross

Or you can follow him on www.instagram.com/michael.norcross/ twitter.com/mikenorcrossart

Don't forget to visit the Open Studios Insight Exhibition at

The Base

Communications Rd.,

Greenham Business Park

Thatcham

RG19 6HN

Situated within Greenham Business Park off the A339 just south of Newbury.

The idea of the Insight exhibition at the Base at Greenham Newbury is that you visit the exhibition; note the artists you are most interested in; look them up under ‘Studios’ dropdown menu; then either just visit or contact them to arrange a visit. Most participants will arrange a visit whenever possible throughout the year, this will be stated on their webpage on the Open Studios site. To visit the West Berkshire and North Hampshire Open Studios and browse work of all artists online visit the website for 2021 go to:

Arlington Arts Exhibition

The Space Between.
I'm exhibiting some of my bags at Arlington Arts, the title of show above. The Space Between, could or can mean anything so I thought I'd have a go at some weaving with leather, which I will never do again because it took me aaaages. I took a couple of pictures during my endurance, but forgot to take a photo of the finished bag. So you'll have to go to Arlington Arts venue to see it, plus the rest of the exhibition, which is open from the 7th to the 29th June. Well worth a visit and set in some lovely surroundings.

Christmas At Studio 21, 16th,17th,18th November

Sue Diffey

Sue Diffey
Medium: Oils, printmaking, drawing, mixed media.
My current interest lies in exploring spacial
sequences using humble and sometimes repetitive forms; the juxtaposition between stillness and energy, where emptiness is form and form is emptiness. In Quantum Physics even a stationary form or object contains energy which is
locked within its atoms. This contained, pure energy is not fixed or determined but in a continual state of flux between matter and anti-matter; perfectly counter-balanced and identical as a mirror image.
Sue Diffey was tutored by
the late Cecil Collins at Central St.Martins in the 1970’s and her life drawing
studies have also developed directly from honoring this energy and stillness.

If you live in Caversham and are thinking of visiting, it would be great, if it's not too far, to walk here. Refreshments will be available for the thirsty! If you're driving, there is parking on Gosbrook road by the park, either side of the road, 2 hr parking on Falkland rd, i think!Parking in Elliots way, that;s the next road down. Also there is the car park in Caversham, the lower part is best as it's independant of waitrose. Maybe a bit of shopping first! There is a car park on George street and a lovely 10min walk a long the River Thames and across the park. To look at the map , scroll down.
