"Open Studios"
PART OF ESSEX SUMMER OF ART
18th and 19th July 2015
10 am - 5 pm each dayMore than 40 years ago artists took over Parndon Mill, sadly neglected and nearly derelict, but a beautiful historic building in a delightful riverside setting. Gradually they restored it to become a thriving hub of creativity, nurturing a wide diversity of talent and skills.
Magnificent glass, weaving, calligraphy, guitar making, ceramics, jewellery and metalwork along with fine arts will be on view here during the Open Studios event.
There will also be an insight into architectural skills and the work of graphic and product designers. Parndon Mill's artists, craftspeople, designers and architects will talk about their work and demonstrate their techniques. Glass blowing is particularly dramatic and visitors are invited to "have a go". Workshops in fused glass, ceramics and felt making will also be offered.Vanue:

"How small .... How vast..."
Artistsmeet are delighted to be featuring for the first time an exquisite collection of fused glass and sand casted pieces, by local artist Ewa Wawrzyniak.
Ewa’s dreamscape sculptures are about vulnerability and protection, how we experience intimate places and to what extent memories and childhood experiences influence our need for a ’dreamplace’. Explored through sand casting, the process offers the artist an immediate, free method of working with glass, which involves pouring hot glass into a mould made out of special, damp casting sand, requiring significant physical and energetic involvement from the creator.
She exhibits extensively in the UK, has commissioned pieces in collections worldwide and runs a number of glass courses as an artist and lecturer.
The work will be on display from:
Wednesday 1 July – Thursday 27 August 2015
10am – 4pm Monday - Friday
Entry is free
