INSIGHT 2010, New Greenham Arts

The Insight 2010, Open Studios Exhibition at The Gallery, New Greenham Arts, Newbury, kicked off this year’s display of the ever expanding creativity at Art & Design Studios across West Berkshire and North Hampshire. This flagship event for Open Studios 2010 was opened by Sir Terence Conran, whose Benchmark Studios at Kintbury, are involved in this event, during May 2010. One of Queen Anne’s students currently studying for her AS examination in Art & Design, was selected to show a painting she completed last year as part of her GCSE coursework. She attended the Private View and reception on Friday 30th April where she was introduced to Sir Terence Conran, who had given an address conveying, at some length, the importance of Art and Craft to this country. He gave his continued support and enthusiasm for the wonderful creativity on display at The Gallery and at associated venues in the Newbury area such as the Found Space exhibition at Arlington Arts:

OPEN STUDIOS CAVERSHAM 2010

Victoria Baker
Vicky Baker trained at Wimbledon School of Art & Design, and comes from a background of 15 years experience as a freelance designer/ maker for Theatre and Film. Vicky has developed individual hand made handbags, with a strong sense of form and line built in a unique fabric: laminated linen; using a layering technique synthesized from the maker’s experience in theatrical costume design and construction, making them strong and durable, dyed and lined in silk, to a high standard of finish. This technique has been extended in work using suede and leather appliqué and more recently some designs purely in leather/suede. Vicky also designs and makes silver and acrylic jewellery, embroidered and appliquéd silk and linen cushions. Vicky lives in Caversham and has been involved in promoting local Caversham artists at Studio 21 for four years.

OPEN STUDIOS, CAVERSHAM.2010

Jayne Talbot-Wilkin
In this series of pots, I have taken my inspiration from Bronze age ceramics discovered in Cyprus. There are some wonderful examples displayed in the British and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
Having been asked to exhibit my work in Northern Cyprus, I wanted a quick and easy way to produce my ideas, so I have made and used plaster moulds.The decoration is simple and geometric incised lines as on the originals.
I hope the cypriot people will find a link within my work to their cultural heritage.
