We’re busy preparing our next board featuring work by 21st Exeter Scouts on the Chinese New Year. In the meantime the present board is still hosting great pictures from HMP Exeter. Don’t forget to let us have any positive comments as it is nice for the artists to get feedback.

Thanks to the many who came to an enjoyable Sunday at Studio 36 on November 24th!
Work by Ardyn Griffin, Clive Hurman, Uschi Arens-Price, Steven Bramble and Veronica Gosling was on show. Joelle and friends ran the café, serving tea, cakes and a variety of soups. Joe Skivington and Peter Farrie played live music.
We had a very well-attended finale of our Think Chair exhibition in fine weather on Sunday featuring live music from the Plum Jam Jazz Quintet, Peter Nickol and Peter Farrie. Mary Bramble was here with her children’s trail and Joelle served tea and delicious food in the café.
Many thanks to everyone who came and made it such a fun event and also many thanks from Age UK Exeter whose Budding Friends project you donated to.
A small selection of chairs from the exhibition, more to follow!
