Having just about recovered from last weekends’ Arts Trail in Southville, I thought it about time I shared some of the photos from what was a ruddy brilliant weekend!
I moved to Bristol about 6 months ago and moved into a gorgeous house with some even more gorgeous(er) ladies and cat. As a house of artists and creative folks, we decided to open up our home for the SouthBank Arts Trail held every year in May. It was a great opportunity to give a little bit of tlc to the old bird and finally tackle the garden and show the slugs the other side of the fence (although not the neighbours of course).
Inspired by the trail’s theme of myths and legends, Our laser cutter extraordinaire (& fellow housemate) Sarah Barnes decided to base her work on Pegasus and so a giant free standing Pegasus is what greeted our trail blazers on their way into No 3 Raleigh Rd.
Sarah also designed some pretty awesome laser cut jewellery with the marvelous Georgie Shire.
No 3’s Resident printmaker and illustrator Marjorie Dumortier graced the front room with her beautiful prints and new range of ceramics.
We were lucky enough to have illustrator and all round maker marvel Jenny Mackendrick exhibit with us. (Her gluten free chocolate brownie being a firm favourite of the weekend).
Katie Wallis filled our living room with her beautiful hand screen printed textiles of birds, bees and wonderful things. ( I couldn’t quite believe it but one of her bee cushions now sits on my chair!)
We met so many lovely people this weekend. So a huge thank you to all who helped baked cakes, serve the cakes, throw things in cupboards ready to open the doors at 11; to friends and strangers who sat in our garden; to the lovely Ruth who sang so beautifully (and to her boyfriend who attached parsley to our clothes line).
We hope to see you all again next year!
