A Marmite Lamp appears at Studio 36!

In these gloomy days maybe a bit of fun? A large marmite jigsaw puzzle finished in the late hours, too good to be dismantled, is achieving a new identity here.

A combined operation by Studio 36 friends consisted of a packet of sliced bread toasted and photographed, a hunk of wood with holes drilled for an electric wire to be inserted, put on legs by a visiting woodworker, and electrics engineered by a resident artist, and a fringe on the shade by his embroiderer wife, and it is just about ready to light up a somewhat confused melancholy?

What was happening at Studio 36

Budding Friends at Studio 36

Studio 36 was looking lively at the start of 2020.

Budding Friends from Age UK, fresh from their recent show at the Boatyard Bakery and Café on Exeter Quay were back for their creative mondays at the studio, busily and enthusiastically creating artwork. In June they celebrate their fifth anniversary.

And following on from our successful Mind Flight (2019), Patterns (2017) and Why Not, What If? (2015) productions at St Sidwell’s Centre, plans for our next performance Out Of Context forged ahead.

An eclectic team of poets, musicians, songwriters, artists and a sailor/boatbuider had its first meeting.

Pottery

All our pottery is hand-painted by Veronica and is safe for ovens, microwaves and dishwashers. Pottery prices are listed here. If you would like to purchase a piece or pieces please contact us.

Many of the older photographs here are the result of a lovely photography day out with Tony Cobley at Teignmouth.

I buy whiteware from a pottery in Stoke, and hardly ever change the first mark I make. The lovely blue glaze comes from Valauris in the south of France, and I have never found such a brilliant blue here, though I’ve tried.

The chickens date from the new millennium and continue to breed. My new designs in bright, primary colours are fun to do. MIRO someone said … well! Everything is fired high enough to be oven, dishwasher and microwave-proof and I quite often do commissions for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings etc.

Sunday at The Studio

We had a great day on Sunday the 24th November, and much enjoyed welcoming new visitors who added to the relaxed atmosphere, as did food provided by Miriam and Ella, music by Joe Skivington and Phil Bonser.

Our Artists from Veronica’s Hay Farm days in the forest of Dean produced lovely work, much appreciated.

MindFlight at St Sidwell’s
