First Weeks Trading

Week one in our lovely new gallery complete. We have completed our first full week of trading and it has been a great success. Thank you to all our regular Unit 3 customers who came to see our beautiful new space and a very big welcome to all the new people through the doors.

We also wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to our extended Workshops family for their help and encouragement during the refurb, with a special mention going to our wizards Tim Harper and Felix Byrne. Between these two craftsmen we have been given the most amazing creative workspace. Utilising many of the materials recycled from the building they have rejuvenated the unit and made a stunning gallery. Thank you.

All happening…

There’s plenty going on in and around Barton Farm Country Park today…

A huge gathering of people for The Bradford on Avon Swim and Picnic which all kicked off this morning with the swimming bit in the Avon.

To the other side of us at the Tithebarn Workshops, is the annual Food and Drink Festival in Victory Field.

Perfect weather for both events and then why not have a stroll round the Workshops while you’re in the area. Have a sit in our beautiful garden for a shady rest from the hustle and bustle.

The Big Move

Things are continuing to progress at Unit 1 and we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel! The counter is going in and the window ledge is already in. The art area is pretty much there and Serena has started painting artistically again… rather than decoratively!

We are hoping to be in within the next 10 days or so, and we will post some more photos very soon.

We can’t wait to get in and start the next chapter of SerenArts Gallery.

A New Chapter…

Things are moving on quite nicely in our new Unit 1 home. The new exterior colour is going on and the rewiring, plumbing and maintenance jobs are all coming along well. No fixed date yet for our grand opening, but we will keep you posted!

This is the space we are going to be building into our beautiful new gallery / workshop and we can’t wait for everyone to see it. Very exciting indeed!

Spring has Sprung!

It has certainly taken its time this year but Spring how appears to be here in all its beautiful colours. The cherry trees are full of blossom and the flower beds are showing their true colours again.

Why not pop down to the Tithebarn Workshops and give yourself a little lift? It really is a lovely place to spend some time.

Personalised Christmas Cards

We are already getting busy with artists bringing in their artwork to be turned into personalised Christmas cards, so why not pop in to have a chat about how you could make your Christmas message that little bit more special.

Bradford on Avon Living Wall

There have been many opinions expressed about the new living wall in the town centre, but we think it looks good, will attract visitors and, most importantly for our traffic congestion problems, reduces the co2 levels in the air.

Now… if you pick up a copy of Serena’s book ‘A Serene View of Bradford on Avon’ (copies available at SerenArts Gallery or on this website!), you will see that she was well ahead of her time when it comes to town planning.  However, her idea of a living wall went considerably further than the new feature in Bradford on Avon…

Go Faster Stripes…

It was another first yesterday at SerenArts Gallery… carbon fibre decal for a mobility scooter!

As part of their service, TopSteer Mobility offer to add self adhesive, carbon fibre decals to the front and rear of their scooters, to protect against damage to the paintwork. They tasked us with tracing, scanning and cutting out sets of the decals to fit the areas that take most of the bumps…

It took a joint effort from Serena and her artistic eye and me at the computer, digitally creating the templates. Just another thing to add to our list of services at SerenArts!

If you are interested in discovering more about the range of scooters, powerchairs and stairlifts available at TopSteer Mobility you can contact them via their website or phone 07758 720059.

Work has started on the repainting at the Tithebarn Workshops. This time we have decided to all go for a different colour on each unit! We have gone for a beautiful blue and Mary has gone for a lovely dusky pink. Keep an eye out for who goes for what colour!
