Half Term is nearly here...

So was that the summer.... or is there more to come??

Hopefully there will be plenty more sunshine as the season wears on, but if not, the Phoenix craft studios have plenty of indoor activities suitable for all ages & abilities. Mike & Karrie teach enamelling, button jewellery or mobile making, using beach-found objects. Oriel gives tuition in painting on glass "roundels", fabric (bags) and ceramics (mugs or plates). For the over-fourteens, there are classes in Tiffany glass techniques. This involves cutting, copper-foiling & soldering individual pieces of stained glass to make a suncatcher for your window.

Prices are from £7.50 to £25 and include all materials.

As well as these advertised craft sessions, Tracy can usually be prevailed upon to show you how to make something beautiful in felt, and Vic & Imogen sometimes share their printmaking and painting skills too. So come and find out a bit more this half term week.

art scilly week

Art Scilly week starts this Saturday, 8th May. This is a new venture, to encourage visitors and locals to visit our galleries and maybe have a go themselves.
There will bea demonstration of enamelling techniques by Mike & Karrie on Saturday morning, and a talk & demonstration on stained glass through the ages in the stained glass workshop on the Monday. It is also the one time in the year when Oriel will be doing classes in fused glass, as well as the Tiffany techniques which are available all year.
Sue Lewington has also been invited over to give classes in bookbinding and watercolour painting in the upstairs gallery.
Details are available from the tourist information office in town, or ring us direct on 01720 422900.
We hope to see you there.
