Who to meet this Spring ...
7 FebruaryAnne Hughes - Artist 
Painting and collage. As a self taught artist Anne enjoys experimenting with colour and texture. She mainly uses acrylic paint and inks but loves to add other mediums to make collages. |
7 MarchAnn March - Artist and Jewellery Maker 
Ann is well known in Highworth for her art work and can often be found manning the desk in VHL on a Friday. Come and see Ann in action painting (maybe) or making some craft of other and chat about her work or crafting in general. |
4 AprilNeil George - Photographer Neil has been taking photographs for over 50 years and from an early age was interested in using the camera to capture something other than a representational photograph. As the years have passed Neil has come to view the camera not as a way to take pictures but as a way to capture raw materials that can be turned into pictures. The kind of work Neil does now is often referred to as “expressionist”. Come along to our Meet the Maker session in June to chat to Neil and find out more about his work. |
9 MayDon Webster - Woodturner Don has been a Highworth resident for over 50 years and took up woodturning as a hobby after retiring from his job as an engineer. Don generally works with logs of ethically-sourced native hardwoods donated by friends, neighbours and empathetic local tree surgeons. Come along to our Meet the Maker session in May to see more of Don's work and chat to him about his passion. |
