Back by popular demand… Santa returns to the Tithebarn Workshops this Sunday…
Come on down and enjoy some more festive fun with us and say hello to Santa.
There will also be an opportunity to experience a drop-in cast glass workshop in Jade’s studio (Jane Pinnell Cast Glass, Unit 5).
Merry Christmas!
If you get stuck in Bradford on Avon’s rather notorious traffic, why not give yourself a little break from the stress and follow one of these signs…
… head down Pound Lane to Barton Farm – a wonderful spot at the heart of Bradford on Avon.
We are lucky enough to call this our place of work, although it’s an absolute pleasure to be coming here each day! You will find not just the stunning Tithe Barn but a great selection of studios, shops and cafes, together with the West Barn, which regularly hosts exhibtions and events.
There aren’t many better spots on a beautiful sunny day like today…
Our gallery is tucked neatly at the centre of this oasis and can be visited from Tuesday to Sunday all year round and even on Bank Holidays!
You can also take advantage of other activities in the area such as paddle boarding or canoeing on the River Avon and Kennet and Avon Canal, all of which is within a 2 minute walk from the Barton Farm car park.
We look forward to welcoming you to Barton Farm soon and don’t forget the Tithebarn Workshops Autumn Fayre on Sunday 22nd September!

OK… I know… it’s the end of August! However, we now have our 2025 Art and Bradford on Avon calendars available at the gallery:
The A4 Bradford photographic calendar is always popular with locals and visitors alike and this year we have brought back the A3 Art calendar, featuring Serena’s artwork. Both calendars are now available to purchase in our gallery or by visiting the calendar page on our website. (Please note that if ordering from the website, there is a small postage charge).
We have recently opened up our first Etsy shop to promote and sell Serena’s range of fine art prints that we offer.
The best way to get hold of Serena’s artwork is to come and meet the artist at our beautiful gallery, at the Tithebarn Workshops, and buy it in person. But if you’re not able to get to Bradford on Avon then our new Etsy outlet is a great place to obtain a giclee print. A larger range of original artwork and prints are also available from Serena’s website.
We can’t believe its been almost a year since we moved into our beautiful new gallery at the Tithebarn Workshops. The time has just flown by in our first eventful year… here’s to many more!
This time next week we should hopefully be arriving in Rochester (M25 permitting!) and setting up in the Corn Exchange, for a weekend of Art Fairing! It promises to be a busy weekend as the Fair coincides with the Sweeps Festival which brings big crowds to the town. Serena is busy putting the final touches to the last few works and we’ll be ready to go.
Our gallery is going to remain open over the weekend while we’re away, as the lovely Martha and Dominic (Bramble Moon) are taking the reins at SerenArts. They are bringing in their magnificant selection of home propagated house plants and crystals and setting up a little pop-up shop within a shop!
We will be back and ready for the first bank holiday on 6th May… unless we sell out of paintings at Rochester!!
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.
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!
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.
