We just wanted to say a big congratulations to Jackie and Felix for their splendid performance at Lambs Yard on Monday night. Really great to see so many people down there, enjoying the music and having a boogie!
Artist Jackie Byrne runs Unit 6/7 at the Tithebarn Workshops and husband Felix not only plays the guitar but also makes them! Apart from their day jobs, the Byrnes perform at local gigs and events, so watch out for them.
Over the last couple of days we have been getting in all sorts of new goodies! From additions to our jewellery collection, with some fabulous new designs and colours… to a range of canal boat models in both wood and brass.
Come on down to the Tithebarn Workshops and check out the new stock and see all the changes that are happening.
We were very kindly invited to another home game of Larkhall Athletic FC by President Steve Hall from Bradford Gallery. Unfortunately we didn’t bring them much luck as they went down 3-1 to a spirited Bishops Cleeve side. However, a great night for everyone involved and, as ever, a warm and friendly welcome from the lovely people who run this great community club.
A huge thank you to Steve for a splendid evening and good luck to the Larks for the rest of the season.
We would also like to draw your attention to a new page in our online shop: ‘Kingfishers‘. We have selected a few of the best selling kingfisher related items in our gallery and made them available online.
For more information please contact us at any time.
Firstly we would like to welcome the new arrivals at the Tithebarn Workshops. Things have been changing recently and in the coming weeks we will have not one, but two new workshop owners…
Jade Pinnell Glass
Jade is an original cast glass sculpture and will be taking over in Unit 5. You can see some of her beautiful work on her website jadepinnellglass.com. Once established, Jade will be offering classes so keep in touch to find out more details.
Natasha Sweeting
Natasha is a Tanzanian artist living in Bradford on Avon. Her work is heavily influenced by her birthplace and where she has spent much of my adult life, Dar-es-Salaam. A city of cultural diversity, a juxtaposition of religious beliefs and layer upon layer of complexity. Natasha is currently refurbing and will then move into Unit 8.
As for SerenArts… well Serena is currently painting up a storm for the upcoming Surrey Art Fair at Epsom Downs Racecourse. We will bring you more information about this exciting event as it draws nearer to the opening night of 6th October.
Our first two months in our lovely new unit have now passed and it feels like we’ve always been here. This wonderful creative space inspires us both every day we come down… which has been pretty much every day to be honest!
SerenArts Gallery is now offering a collection of mugs featuring Serena’s artwork…
They come with a range of different designs, each mug is individually boxed and is dishwasher and microwave safe. The image appears on both sides of the mug. Either pop into our gallery at the Tithebarn Workshops, or you can buy online.
We are very pleased to announce the return of our printed tea towels at SerenArts Gallery. They are 100% cotton, made in the UK and feature Serena’s artwork. Here are a selection of the designs available…
You can either pop down to the Tithebarn Workshops, where we have the tea towels in our gallery at £12 each, or you can purchase online from this website at £14.95 to cover shipping.
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
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.
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.
