Why Not? What If?

Why Not? What If? was an evening of dramatic, poetic, musical and artistic enquiry into the whys and wherefores of DON’T! It was presented at Studio 36 in 2015 and featured work and performances by poet James Turner, musician Laura Baudin, writer Tim Coles, actor Jeff Sleeman, songwriter Peter Farrie and artists Ardyn Griffin, Steven Bramble, Gordon Hill and Veronica Gosling.

There was a concurrent exhibition in the gallery.

The performance was reprised with new material and some new participants at St Sidwell’s Community Centre in March 2017.

All About Ardyn

Ark_Sun%20rising08_wlg_9sept09

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.
