Serena has just finished her latest commission for one of our Glass Art Tables…

Glass Art Table

The client saw one of our lamps with the Freeform Design and wanted a matching table… so that’s what she’s got!  It has become quite a busy area of our business at the Gallery.  We offer a bespoke service where Serena can match up with a swatch of fabric or paint colour palatte, on either the tables or our lamps.  We recently had a small piece of wallpaper brought in by a customer who wanted us to match up two lamps with the design.  The results speak for themselves….

If anyone would like any more information about this service, or an idea of how much it will cost, please feel free to contact us at any time.

I knew today was going to be a bad day when I woke up to the news that Harry Redknapp had been sacked as Spurs manager! I’ve downloaded my application and will send it off to White Hart Lane shortly!
Anyway, my ongoing battle with squirrel has reached new frustrating heights today. I came down to the gallery to find he had carted off another whole, stuffed coconut and when I put fresh seed out on the bird table, this is what I get….

I will defeat him!!

On a better note, I am now well into the latest book artwork job, this one for water-colour artist, Winston Oh.  A love looking through all the work trying to take my mind off how tedious the actual designing job can be!  Winston has a great eye and, as you can see from his work, is very well travelled.  I will keep you up to date with how his book is coming on.

Things at the gallery are a little quiet due to this rather unseasonably inclement weather!  Hopefully we’ll see some decent sunshine in the coming week.  It does give me time to hatch a plan to foil squirrel though!

We thought it was about time that we kept everyone up to date with the activities and goings-on at the Tithebarn Workshops and specifically at our unit …. SerenArts Gallery.

To that end, we will be writing a regular blog letting you know what’s happening and posting regular images from this beautiful area.

To give you a little bit of background information on the Tithebarn Workshops, we are one of 8 units set in a lovely little garden, courtyard area.  The units were formally the cow sheds which belonged to the local Barton Farm and now forms part of the stunning Barton Farm Country Park.  Each of the galleries / workshops has it’s own speciality and between us we offer an eclectic mix of arts and services…
