All About Ardyn
Ardyn Griffin has been a firm friend of Studio 36 owner/artist Veronica Gosling since her days at Hay Farm and Ardyn has exhibited every year at Studio 36 since it’s inception too.
Ardyn lives and works in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire with her cat, dog and wild garden full of chickens, peacocks and guinea fowl.
Ardyn trained firstly at the Ruskin School, followed by the Froebel Institute for Education, Roehampton and finally at Goldsmiths college in London.
She had a large collection of sketchbooks from over the years documenting memorable events and people which are also a great source of inspiration for her work.

If you’ve had chance to visit us here in Denmark Road you perhaps might have spotted some of the lovely pieces of Ardyn’s artwork dotted around the studios – which presently includes two cows grazing happily in our office and a rather splendid wall clock taking pride of place in our kitchen.
Ardyn, who frequently attends and contributes to Studio 36 events, is a full of fun, lively character whose verve and gusto in life is reflected in her art.

Open Studio & Sculpture Garden – June 28th – 30th
Norman Bowler
We opened our Studios, the garden was great, the artists keen and we had on the Sunday a performance of voice and music, with Norman Bowler (actor, roles in Softly Softly and Emmerdale) and flautist Ruth Molins giving a rendering of the RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER.
On Saturday Peter Farrie played a short set of his songs and Paul Morris improvised on the piano.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS. Gordon Hill, one time international football referee and educator, has for the last years been experimenting in various media and now is working on wild drawings, faces, and landscapes; Julian Duckham, as always working on tables, shelves, built in and built out, restoration , and so on in his workshop here at Studio 36. Cass Stoddart, turned up here recently to help with anything, with a portfolio of interesting tree drawings and abstract paintings. He’s an Exeter Man, born and bred, educated at Exeter college, he walks on Dartmoor, the South Devon Coast and about town, using his camera to remind him of things to paint, which he says he does on the floor dipping thin bamboo into paint. Veronica Gosling lives and works here on all sorts of things, and enjoys especially hanging things in trees. Deborah Lowe’s stained glass panels are always here, she’s a very old friend of Veronica’s who puts them out at any opportunity: they are so good!
