Opening Celebration, Friday, July 11th, 5-7pm, refreshments served. Saturday and Sunday hours: 10 - 4pm. Annabel is a contemporary artist who is in love with colour. She can describe a memory of a place or particular day by weaving a rich tapestry of colours together in oil paint, beeswax and mixed media. In the landscapes she uses watercolour - working spontaneously to record the feeling of a place. Annabels' work joins figurative with abstraction and a love for experimentation, freedom and attention to the small details. She has taught painting, drawing, papermaking and printmaking in Moscow, Spain, India and the UK to all ages and all nationalities.
In her workshops she helps you find your creative inner voice. Shown here is Annabel Keatley's mixed media. We are happy to announce that Annabel will hold two workshops, one on Saturday and another on Sunday:
Creative Papermaking Workshop -
Make your own paper - learn techniques of embossing, embedding and how to use inclusions like petals and leaves to make your own beautiful unique handmade papers.
The Freedom to Paint - A Creative and Inspiring Watercolour Workshop. Beginners welcome.
