The Story of Skeleton Woman – May 25th

We had a very successful and well attended performance of ‘The Story of Skeleton Woman’, by the performance group, Bone Song featuring Jade Moon, Susan Taylor, Rebecca Mayes and Carolan Grzesinski. It was great having them and they appreciated the setting. Their (edited) comments are shown in italics below:

“The Exeter Showing of The Story of Skeleton Woman at Studio 36 was a delight to perform. The audience was very appreciative of, and in, the unusual setting. Our host, Veronica Gosling, freed her home and garden up to our picnics, which we enjoyed, all around her gallery, house, and sculptural gardens.

Many stayed to participate in the after show discussion, which reached unusual depths related to and springing from the Skeleton Woman story. It was an extremely interesting and stimulating evening.

Thank you to all who attended.”

Simon Williams Book Launch – Performance – Talk-Picnic!

SIMON WILLIAMS, Bard of Exeter 2013, poet, author of numerous books, lecturer, leader of creative writing workshops in prisons, schools and colleges, singer, participant in many interesting musical & poetic collaborations, speaker at WAYS WITH WORDS, (Dartington), will be reading from his new publication HE/SHE in the Studio on May 18th.

HE/SHE is a witty collection of prose poems around the lives of a quirky young man and woman who seem to be living in a humorous & SLIGHTLY surreal world. Amusement and surprise are in each of his delightful pieces. As Simon is a skilled performer this will be very good!

Simon lives with his poet wife, Susan Taylor, on Dartmoor.

PHILIP KUHN , historian, poet, designer, bookbinder, and founder of itinerant press which has published Simon’s book and 14 others, will give one of his fascinating talks about bookbinding and his philosophy for his press. He will show examples of books and techniques involved. It will be very interesting.

After the Christmas and New Year holidays Studio 36 is now open once again, by appointment. Various intriguing and exciting projects are brewing for 2013 and we welcome further ideas for happenings throughout the year!

After Art Ran Riot – Hibernation!

We had a great 4 weeks with the Carousel Project, Exeter, who devised Art Runs Riot to encourage the children to explore the shapes, colours, textures and spaces in the house and garden.

See the Carousel Project write-up for Art Runs Riot, with lots of photos here.

Lamps & Sculptures

Prices for sculptures are available on application. Please contact Veronica with your enquiry.

I think they are more assemblages and they are things I have stumbled across, and enjoy for their shapes or patina, and quite often history. It always takes time to put an assemblage together – I sometimes have looked at the objects for a year or even 5 years when something will suddenly occur.

A Poem by James Turner
