WEST SOMERSET#artweeks14 www.somersetartworks.org.uk

WelcomeWelcome to Somerset Art Weeks Open Studios Event 2014. This year we have 205 venues showing a huge variety of work. Artists from every background and discipline in their studios - places that are usually private working environments. They can be functional and clear or, more usually, chaotic and cluttered reflecting the working practice of the artist and the sources of their inspiration - places to collect thoughts as well as produce work. It can be a privilege to be allowed in. There are also many affiliated special events happening during Art Weeks. They include an artist talk and tour at Hestercombe Gardens and Gallery, near Taunton on the 3 October, where exciting developments have made this magnificent house and garden into a new venue for contemporary art. We also present to you a guided tour of the exhibitions and garden at Hauser & Wirth Somerset in Bruton on the 30 September. Each year, SAW also works with individuals, organisations and schools to develop their open studios event. We are delighted to work with Millfield School in Street and Bruton School for Girls to offer new and exciting work. Don’t miss The Levels and Moors: New work by four Somerset artists. As part of the Creative Pathways, a Professional Development Programme for SAW member artists, we are working with venues across Somerset to support artists to make new works and develop their audiences. Limited editions of the new works will be available for purchase. More details see page 5.

The last weekend of the Open Studios event (4 & 5 October), will be Family Friendly Final Weekend. Many venues are offering activities for visitors of all ages, including young children, from printmaking to ceramics with many activities free. A full list of activities being offered can be found in the central spread of this guide.

SAW’s Art Weeks’ reputation continues to grow and this year we have attracted many artists to open their doors for the first time and a few are located beyond our traditional county boundary. We are delighted to include Keith Varney, Speckled Wood and Elisabeth Barry, who have opened their studios near Bath. See venue 135.

Lastly I can’t help mentioning that it’s not been an easy year for much of Somerset - nature flexed its muscles on the Levels and some exhibitors haven’t been able to take part this time round as a result - I wish them all better luck this winter and look forward to their renewed energy for 2015.

The Levels and Moors

4 artists have been selected to create new works specific to the theme The Levels and Moors, offering unique artistic responses to the visitor, reflecting on the landscape of Somerset. Joy Merron, Andrea Oke, Lucy Pendrick and Mayumi Kaneko received bursaries in June this year to create a collection of new work in their chosen medium and set up temporary workspaces in allocated venues during Art Weeks.

As part of SAW’s Creative Pathways, a professional development programme for SAW artist members, this project aims to support Somerset artists to make new work and promote this to the wider public. Supported by Friends of SAW and host venues.

Visitors are welcome to see their work and meet the artists. Limited editions of work will be available for purchase. For more information please go to sawcreativepathways.wordpress.com/

Lucy Pendrick A self taught artist who creates miniature felt animals setting them against carefully selected foraged finds in Somerset. Lucy has created a collection of new work capturing the essence and wildlife of the moor from its wild open spaces to its secret combes with incredibly detailed felt animals to loose felt work filled with expression. Her bursary is supported by Exmoor Branch of NADFAS (The National Association of Decorative & Fine Art Societies)Venue 27: Number Seven, Dulverton

Mayumi Kaneko bottega-yu.netMayumi presents a range of lights made by hand-woven fabric using Japanese paper yarn made from Washi paper.

Joy Merron www.joymerron.co.uk Graduated with MA Design: Fashion and Textiles at Bath Spa University, she has been selected to create a large scale public realm piece at the new Breast Care Centre at Southmead Hospital, Bristol. Her new work investigates how water and sunlight transform the environment for fleeting moments or more permanently. She has interpreted this into an installation created by cut layers of materials and moving images. Venue 132: Black Swan Art Centre in Frome

Andrea Oke andreaoke.weebly.comCurrently completing a BA (hons) in Drawing and Applied Arts at the University of the West of England in Bristol. Her new work includes a combination of sound with moving drawings to try and capture a sense of the Somerset Levels and Moors and its unique environment and inhabitants.

She is kindly hosted by Simon Ledson and Jane Peck at their studio.Venue 169: Thornreed Studio, Lower Godney

Joyce Rowsell


My miniatures are painted in oil on silk. I stretch the silk over a frame large enough to fit my easel. I work in thin layers at first, working up gradually to thicker paint and greater detail. When the painting is finished it is taken off the stretcher and restretched over a smaller strainer which fits the painting and the frame. I make an extra frame so that my same-size print looks, as far as possible, exactly like the original painting.Six international prizes from leading Miniature Art Societies have been awarded to me over the past year, which brings the total count to ninety-four altogether.

Planning for next year’s Art Weeks is already underway. The event will take place from Saturday 3rd October to Sunday 18th October 2015. The Festival Programme will be created around the theme ‘Momentum’. We are currently developing a range of partnerships, commissions and projects that offer high quality contemporary arts in Somerset to a wider audience. If you are planning or developing a project or exhibition and wish to discuss ways of how you can be a part of the Art Weeks Festival next year, please contact us on [email protected]

Artists, on the map

SAW’s New Website Somerset Art Works currently has over 400 members and continues to support the development of Visual Arts in Somerset and growing its audiences. With the support from the Arts Council England Lottery funding, we are able to re-develop our website which helps us to provide better information and services to our members and audiences. We worked with Thirty8 Digital, award winning creative design agency in South West. The new website is also designed to be viewed on smartphone and tablet.
