We were asked by Steve to produce a short run of A5 flyers to promote an upcoming course he is hosting at his studio in Bradford on Avon…
This one day course with John Hoar will be very popular, so early booking is recommended.

SerenArts Gallery in 2020
Well… here we are in 2020 and this is the first time I’ve had time to sit down and post this year after our full gallery refurbishment.
You may have seen a post from Serena recently telling you all about her new work desk!… well I’ve got one too!…
We have an all new layout with clearly defined areas for Serena’s art, the jewellery and my printing department…
We’re looking forward to the new year in our new space and hope to welcome you all in the near future.
If you have any new year printing projects you’d like some help with please contact us at any time.
Steve Hall Watercolour Courses
Our apologies again for not posting for some time, but after a busy summer season we will endeavour to keep you up to date with the goings on at SerenArts Gallery.
In the meantime we would like to bring your attention to an opportunity to have an excellent days painting with Steve Hall in Bradford on Avon…
We will be back soon with more updates but we can certainly recommend booking a spot on one of Steve’s courses.
Anthony Pates – Artist
We were very sad to hear of the passing of local artist Anthony Pates recently. We have had the pleasure of doing some printing work for Anthony over the years, reproducing some of his incredible artwork as prints, cards and postcards. He was an absolute gentleman and created the most exquisite, timeless work.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
Here are a few examples of Anthony’s extraordinary work…
Busy Weekend
SerenArts had a very busy time over the weekend with back to back markets…
Saturday 13th July – Trowbridge Weavers Market
Saturday saw the first Trowbridge Weavers Market which is to run on the second Saturday of every month and occupies the centre of Trowbridge. Bringing together makers from all spheres and incorporating music and street food. We opted for a suitcase pitch at the first event and took along our book ‘A Serene View of Bradford on Avon‘ and a collection of cards from the book. We have also booked for the August and September dates and hope to see everyone come along to this excellent event.
Sunday 14th July – Frome Art Car Boot Sale
Sunday, and it was off to Somerset for a return to the annual Frome Art Car Boot Sale organised by Black Swan Arts and held in the car park outside the Cheese and Grain. This event does exactly what the name suggests… offering visitors an opportunity to obtain art, direct from the artists, at a reasonable price. The weather was fantastic and day was a great success.
A busy but rewarding weekend and its back to the gallery today after a much needed day off!
More 3D Artwork
Serena has started another two pieces of her 3D artwork and here is the first…
Painted with oil on board… see if you can guess what the subject will be?!
The other work is a few layers further on and a bit more obvious what the subject is…
They are both yet to have their air dry clay additions added so we’ll keep you posted as they progress.
We are already getting some very favourable comments from customers in the gallery and it certainly gets people talking when they see Serena working on them. The completed pieces will be making it to the walls soon.
Latest Artwork
As you’ll have seen from previous posts, Serena has been working on a number of 3 dimensional artworks using oil paints and air dry clay. Here are the latest two that are currently drying ready for more layers to be added…
The poppy at the top is almost complete whereas the dragonfly has yet to appear on his beautiful background.
We’ll post more images very soon.
