Word is spreading about SerenArts Gallery duck and swan food available at the Tithebarn Workshops.
These three have become regulars and taken up temporary residence in the gardens here. With a fresh water supply via Vixy’s Cafe dog bowls and lots of attention from customers, they have everything they need!
We can’t quite believe it is 17 years ago today that we joined the Tithebarn Workshops community.
We started off on 6th January 2009 in Unit 3 and haven’t looked back since.
Things did look a little bit different back then, but the Workshops have always been such a beautiful place to come each day.
We moved into the larger Unit 1 on 16th June 2023 after over 14 very happy years in number 3 and quickly made it our new home. We opened up this beautiful space and created a stunning studio / gallery to showcase Serena’s artwork and offer a community shop and printing service which continues to thrive.
We would like to thank our wonderful landlords for making all this possible and, of course, our loyal customers, family and friends who support us and make this wonderful place prosper.
Here’s to many more years at the TBW!
Well that was all rather traumatic! Serena and I went down to the Flood Forum on Monday at the Holy Trinity Church and promptly got interviewed by Points West!
Luckily a large part of my waffling was cut out but they did also cut our praise for the wonderful Flood Wardens we have here in Bradford. It was on the BBC website, but chopped from the news piece, so we will say it again… we think they’re heros. We would also like to thank BBC Points West and in particular Will Glennon for the generous coverage of the flooding situation in Bradford on Avon.
It will be interesting to see what, if anything, comes from this very well attended event. Hopefully it was more than a PR stunt and some meaningful plans will be put in place to help those in the community that suffer the wrath of the River Avon. Flooding is certainly a problem that is becoming more frequent and more severe, so over to you at the Environment Agency, Wessex Water and Local Council.
This month marks a special milestone for SerenArts Gallery – two incredible years in Unit 1 of the Tithebarn Workshops. After 14 wonderful years in Unit 3, the move was a big step, but what an inspiring journey it has been. The new space has breathed fresh energy into the gallery, allowing for more creativity, better displays, and a warmer welcome to our ever-growing community of visitors and art lovers.
SerenArts continues to evolve, offering a vibrant collection of original artwork, prints, cards and gifts, as well as a custom printing and photocopying service. The light and spacious new unit layout has become a hub for creativity, conversation and connection – all things we love.
Looking back, we are immensely grateful for the support that’s helped us flourish. Looking forward, we’re excited to keep growing, creating and sharing the beauty of our work with everyone who walks through our doors.
Here’s to two years in Unit 1 – and to many more to come! If you haven’t visited yet, come and see what makes this space so special. You’re always welcome at SerenArts Gallery.
It might have been the drizzle this morning, or it could have been the lure of the comfy chairs at SerenArts Gallery, but whatever it was this little chap certainly seemed to settle in…
If anyone is missing a very sociable cat, he doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere anytime soon!
Everything is back to normal at SerenArts Gallery and our printing / photocopying services are fully functioning again.
Our apologies to the few people that we weren’t able to help over the weekend, but its all systems go again now.
Thank you for your patience.
Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience, but we experiencing a few technical problems with our printing servcies at SerenArts Gallery. Rest assured that within a few days everything will be back to normal, so if you could just bear with us that would be great.
All other services are available as usual, so you’re welcome to pop down to the Workshops for a browse.
It’s that time of the year again when we start to get in lots of orders from local artists wanting their artworks turned into Christmas cards.
We offer a bespoke service at SerenArts, so why not get in contact to discuss your requirements. Prices start from just 95p per card including a quality envelope.
We wouldn’t normally be producing our Bradford on Avon calendar this early in the year, but we have had a number of requests for the 2024 calendar, so they are now available to purchase from this site or from our gallery at the Tithebarn Workshops.
We have also done a 2024 Art Calendar featuring some of Serena’s work. This is also an A4, wall hanging calendar.
If you would like any further information please feel free to contact us at any time
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.
