SUMMARY:Corinna Nicoll Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of seascapes and street scenes that show the beauty in the ordinary.\nWelsh artist Corinna has been painting since she was a teenager.  Now also a practicing reflexologist\, she believes that through both art and reflexology she can bring something of herself to others\, and hopefully inspire feelings of happiness and calm.\nCorinna has always been very drawn to certain colours\, sunset oranges and reds\, and blues and turquoises.  She feels colour is what makes the world alive and beautiful.  Colours to her represent variety and difference\, and many tones of colours together make a rich and diverse world. \nShe is passionate about the energy and feelings of colours and moments of joy that come from feeling connected to life.   Moments in life contain beauty in many forms\, be it visual beauty\, the beauty of togetherness\, laughter\, fun\, new ideas\, synchronicities\, different elements coming together in harmony. \nLearn more about Corinna here. \nGallery Opening Times: \nMonday: 11am – 3pm\nTuesday: 1pm – 3pm\nWednesday: 1pm – 3pm / 6pm – 8pm\nThursday: 1pm – 3pm\nFriday: 1pm – 2pm

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: : “In the Lines”\, Julia Davenne
DESCRIPTION:Julia grew up in Llantrisant\, near Cardiff\, and now has returned to South Wales – Abergavenny\, after many years away in London and Norway.  She studied a B.A. degree at St Martins School of Art\, and a postgraduate diploma at Royal Academy of Arts\, Schools\, London where she concentrated on composition.  After returning from living in Norway\, Julia taught at Chelsea School of Art for 12 years before re-locating to the Brecon Beacons. \n  \n———————————– \n  \nLiving on the edge of the Brecon Beacons is to be on the doorstep of dramatic\, wild and sometimes remote nature and the inspiration for my artwork.  The landscape is rich and varied\, at times wild plains\, ancient forests\, moss covered trees\, old stone walls\, dark earth\, derelict remains\, mist descending over the mountains\, the river sources winding down the valley into the rivers\, dark skies\, stormy weather\, twigs & branches\, woven hay mounds\, mountain peaks\, geometric stone steps over years formed by water\, ancient stones & boulders\, oak trees & silver birch. \n  \nIn my artwork…I look at the geographical formation of the different terrains.  The artwork is a depiction of this terrain\, using marks\, forms and lines.  I am interested in :- mark making\, in the linear quality & language of maps\, in the possibilities of depicting a terrain in a visual language\, and then in the possibilites that arise in making works from drawings on paper: – using these drawings as a material. \nI draw images from nature\, simplify them to a language of marks\, lines & forms and build them into compositions.  I work with drawings on paper and on boards & installations. \n  \nThe artworks shown here were made over many years and this is my first show in Abergavenny\, curated for the Melville Centre and beginning on the weekend of the Abergavenny Arts Festival. \n  \nwww.juliadavenne.com \n(Please note opening hours vary so please call ahead 01873 853167)

SUMMARY:Arts for our Community Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Come along to The Melville Centre on Saturday 18th June for an exciting series of FREE workshops\, and then relax and enjoy delicious snacks and refreshments in our coffee-bar. \n  \nMany thanks to The Big Skill for providing funding (you can book your places directly on their website\, link below). \n  \nSchedule: \n  \n*10.00 am – 11.30 am: Sketching Workshop with Alli Neal… \nSo\, you think you can’t draw… \nThink you can’t draw or want to draw better? Want to draw but don’t really know how to begin? \nThis workshop is intended for anyone who has ever picked up a pencil and wished that they could really draw. \nIn this free workshop Alli Neal will help you to discover and begin to develop the drawing skills you think you haven’t got. \nAll materials provided. \n(Dr. Alli Neal left her job as course leader for the BA in Fine Art at the Hereford College of Arts to complete a PhD on contemporary drawing practice. She is now concentrating on developing her own drawing and painting practice. ) \n \n  \n  \n*10.30 am – 12.00 pm: Stitch Meditation Workshop with Pam Wesson… \nStitch meditation is known as an ‘active meditation’ – a process where the hands are busy yet the mind is free to wander.  \nYou are not aiming to produce a design or project just carrying out the process of stitching some pieces of fabric together.  \nSwitching off your creative head can be harder than you think\, however\, you do often end up with a lovely little piece of art that you can frame\,  \nput in a book or use as part of another project. \nAll materials provided. \n \n  \n* 10.0 am – 11.00 am\nor\n* 11.30 am – 12.30 am @ Printmaking Workshop with Francesca Kay… \nPoet and printer Francesca Kay offers you  a chance to try letterpress printing – making words with movable type and ink. \nIt’s a 600 year old craft\, and more fun than a computer! Francesca will help you find a word or short phrase that has meaning for you\, helping you typeset and print it on her vintage Ajax tabletop printing press. You will have a unique memento of this ancient and enjoyable art.  And there’s a special poster made with wooden type that you can also print to take away as well. \nIf you can read backwards it will help! \n \n  \n* 2.00 pm – 4.00 pm: Needle felting workshop with Emma Bevan… \nTextile artist Emma Bevan will be offering the opportunity to try\, or develop\, your needle-felting skills in this 2 hour session. You can make a little brooch of your favourite animal or flower\, a heart brooch\, or maybe something abstract!\nEmma will supply all the natural fibres\, the needles and materials necessary for making your own needle-felted creation. \nEmma is a qualified tutor and artist and an experienced workshop facilitator; you will have lots of fun learning all about felt-making. \n \n  \nWe are also delighted to have the art exhibition by Julia Davenne\, who will be displaying her work here from 18th June to 7th July – here is one example of her beautiful work: \n \n“River”.   Oil and graphite on linen\, 33 x 45 cm\, 2016 – 2017. \nwebsite :   www.juliadavenne.com \n  \nIn addition\, we are thrilled that Pam Wesson will have her inspirational New Quilt for Humanity on display here that day\, as well as her work in progress Pride Quilt. \n'The New Quilt of Humanity' was a community lockdown project initiated by Pam Wesson through the Facebook page Stop & Stitch.\nInspired by the words of Julia Myers & Liz Kettle's Stitch Meditation Facebook group\, Pam reached out to other stitchers\, locally & globally\, \nto take part by sending her their 'stitch meditation' squares. Little did she know at that time how long lockdown would last & how important 'stitch meditation' and the \nStop & Stitch community group would become in supporting people through this difficult time.\n \n  \nFor more information\, please email emma.bevan@melvillecentre.org.uk \nWorkshop bookings available soon at www.thebigskill.com/bookhere \nBeacons Open Studios online brochure can be viewed here: Beacons Open Studios 2022 online brochure.pdf
