Barton Farm Country Park is the perfect place to come on a local art course and get inspired by the beautiful surroundings of the Tithe Barn. I saw this group from our front door setting up this morning.
Local artist Steve Hall offers a range of painting courses, both from his lovely studio and the local area. For more information why not visit his website: stevehallartist.co.uk
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.
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.
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!
More photos and updates to follow…
This handsome fella hopped into the gallery yesterday… chirping quite happily. He then jumped over and sat on Serena’s latest kingfisher painting in the window. More chirping… then he decided he would make his way back to the garden… via the window! Absolute chaos ensued as paintings, jewellery and the rest of window display was strewn around until I was able to open the window and out he went… happy and unhurt. He did leave a few little deposits in the window but no harm done! I guess this is what happens when you regularly feed the birds in the garden.
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.
We are very excited to announce that after 14 years at the Tithebarn Workshops, we are moving. Don’t worry, you won’t need a sat nav to find us… we’re going to Unit 1, which is just 2 doors down from where we are now! Current occupant, Andre will be retiring at the beginning of May and we are moving in on Wednesday 10th May.
It will give us the additional space to expand Serena’s artwork and gallery area, as well as our printing and shop areas. Serena will also have the space to offer a range of painting courses, so watch out for more information about that in the coming months.
We have been wanting to take the next step in our growing business and the new unit will give us the ideal opportunity to expand and offer more to the local community and visitors to the Workshops. Thank you to all our customers for their support and we look forward to many more happy years at the Tithebarn Workshops in Unit 1.
Serena has been busy painting away in preparation for the upcoming Bath Art Fair at The Pavilion in Bath. The event will take place on the weekend of 25th and 26th February 2023. More information and tickets are available from the Art Fair website. Or you can follow the build up @bathartfair
Like the Bath and West Show last year, Serena will be exhibiting along side our friend and fellow artist Steve Hall. This association began many years back and has continued right through to today, with both artists now having galleries in Bradford on Avon.
Please feel free to contact us if you would like more information about Serena or Steve’s work and we hope to see you at The Pavilion next month.
Well, I guess spring must be on its way as we have the latest additions to our jewellery collections arriving at the gallery today…
Some great new designs and the latest spring / summer colours of the most popular designs.
Why not pop down to the Tithebarn Workshops and check out the latest range.
Here we are… still going strong after 14 years at the Tithebarn Workshops. We’ve seen some coming and some goings… some good times and some not so good, but we wouldn’t swap this for anything!
We just want to say a very big thank you to all those customers, family and friends that have supported us during our time here and look forward to another great year in 2023.
Happy New Year to you all and see you soon.
