Art @ Baker Tilly

I previously blogged about the forth coming exhibition by Guildford Arts, at the offices of Baker Tilly in Guildford. The private viewing took place on 10 May and I went along to meet the artists and gain some insight into the life of some local artists.

I was particularly interested to meet Angela Shaw, who creates woodland installations at Alice Holt Forest. Angela uses photography to bring her installations out of the forest and I found her use of 'framing' very engaging.

I was also drawn to the ceramicist Jitka Schacherlova, who will be graduating this year. Her work is designed, and made, to be touched; ceramic balls within structures, a playful feeling. I have Jitka's email if you would like to contact her directly.

The exhibition continues until 21 July 2012.

I recently joined Guildford Arts, after being invited to a private viewing of local artists' work. Today, I received my first newsletter; what a lot of arty things to do in and around Guildford. I thought I would let you know of a few events coming up.

Sonnet Walk (Guildford Shakespeare Company), enquiries to Guildford Tourist Information Office. Walks will take place on 21st and 22nd April from 12noon from the Tourist Office, and will celebrate Shakespeare's 448th birthday and St George's Day, both on 23rd April.

The Sculpture Garden, enquiries to Birtley Parkland Events. This exhibition is open daily from 5th May to 5th June, and looks fab.

Private viewing of art at Baker Tilly, Guildford on Thursday 10th May from 6-8pm. For more information see Guildford Arts. I am looking forward to this because the photographer Angela Shaw will be exhibiting and giving a brief talk entitled 'Art Unplugged'. 

See you there?
