Those of you passing by or visiting the Tithebarn Workshops will notice our new signage is popping up around the garden. This is all part of the updating and new look for the Workshops which reflects the energy of the resident artists and vibrant colours of the studios.
Just a little reminder about this weekends Spring Fling in the garden here, which all kicks off at 10am…
With just a couple of weeks to go now until the Tithebarn Workshops Spring Fling, we thought we would share some of the promotional images that have been created to advertise this event…
The team at the Tithebarn Workshops now includes…
In addition to these lovely people, we would also have live music, art stalls in the garden, food, a bar and much more…
We hope to see you all very soon for some flinging in the garden!
Just a quick heads up to let you know about another fun event taking place at the Tithebarn Workshops next month. More details will follow but you can pop 20th April into your diaries if you like. It would be great to see everyone here again.
The final last few touches are being added and the last few paintings being framed, because this time next week we will be open for business at the Bath Art Fair 2024.
Serena completed this lovely charcoal drawing of a highland cow yesterday and he will be alongside a couple of other charcoal images at the Fair. As you know, Serena has a very diverse style of painting, covering many subjects and media. This will be reflected in the eclectic range of works we are taking with us to the Pavilion.
We very much hope to see you there over the weekend of 24th / 25th February.
With temperatures in the negative you would think we might not be quite so happy with our lovely gallery… even with the door wide open! However, we really are lucky to have this beautiful space to come to each day. The sun is shining and the ice on the inside of windows is melting!
A busy day too, on the road outside the front of the gallery!…
It’s all go here! If you can cope with pace of life, why not pop down for a coffee and a wander around the Tithebarn Workshops and Barton Farm?
Only 37 sleeps until this years Bath Art Fair, which will be held again at the splendid Bath Pavilion.
Things have been moving on a pace with the preparations and we’re really looking forward to exhibiting again after such a successful time last year. For anyone who hasn’t been to the Fair, we would thoroughly recommend it. With a collection of over 90 artists, sculptors, glass artists and other clever people, it is certainly a great way to feed the creative soul.
This time our stand number is 35. It is actually in the same spot as last year, but just renumbered! Opening evening is on Friday 23rd February and if you hurry, you can still get tickets. For Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th February there are still tickets available and these can be obtained here.
Serena has been very busy creating lots of new work which you can have a sneak preview of on her Instagram.
We hope you’re able to come along and say hello!
We are back up and running at SerenArts Gallery after the floods of last weekend. A good team effort from the Tithebarn Workshops Family!
This amazing photo, taken from a video posted on Spotted in Bradford, shows the extent of the flooding around Barton Farm. We were lucky to get away with the amount of flooding we did get this time. It could’ve been a whole lot worse.
There is always a lot of talk after an event like this happens. We remember the big plans that were discussed after the 2013 floods, which were worse for us. Eventually after much consulting and planning, very little was done apart from the Bullpit flood defence wall. After being deployed only a handful of times, this was then dropped as a bad idea due to a number of reasons including health and safety.
Perhaps this time around a firm flood plan can be put in place and maybe some assistance for those worst hit, as Wiltshire Councillor Tim Trimble suggested in an article on the BBC News website this morning.
Hopefully this doesn’t come over as whiny as we knew the risks of being next to the river when we moved to the Tithebarn Workshops over 15 years ago. We are extremely lucky to have our beautiful gallery in such a superb setting and we accept the highs and the lows (literally!). Good luck to all those clearing up.
Just a quick post to say that it will be a few days before we are able to reopen SerenArts Gallery. The flooding caused a bit more damage than expected, but we’ll be back as soon as possible.
This is much prettier than this mornings photos! the clean up begins!
Thank you to all those lovely people for the offers of help and kind wishes. This sort of thing brings out the very best in most people.
See you soon!
A very Happy New Year to all our customers and friends from SerenArts. We hope you had as good a Festive season as we did with our lovely family.
I’m not sure how many times we’ve started the new year with photos similar to these, but it must be quite a few now!…
Yep… it’s the Avon bursting its banks again! So far, we have been lucky at the Tithebarn Workshops, it hasn’t made its way across the playground. Hopefully not too many of you are being badly affected with the high waters. It’s a worrying time we know.
On the plus side… sales of our duck and swan food have been brisk today!
We are looking forward to a great 2024 and our first full year in Unit 1 at the Workshops. It will be 15 years this Saturday that we first came here and took over Unit 3. Here’s to many more years to come.
Come and join us at the Tithebarn Workshops from 12 noon til 4pm on Saturday and meet Santa!
A big thank you to Vixy’s Cafe for pulling a few festive strings and getting Mr Claus to take time out of his busy schedule to visit the Workshops!
We’ll all be open to welcome visitors and give the parents an opportunity to get some unique Christmas gifts.
