Yipee,
we're going to Art in Action this weekend.
Not many people have heard of it, which is such a shame as it is a
fantastic day/days out for people who love all things creative.
Art
in Action is a four day event where artists and craftspeople openly demonstrate
their skills and discuss their work. There
are workshops that you can book and have a go and an excellent marketplace, so
bring some cash (some stalls take credit card, but others don’t). All the work showcased is the best of British
craftpersonship. Disciplines include
painting, sculpture, glass, woodwork, textiles, ceramics, metalwork and
jewellery and there are 400 demonstrating artists, designer makers, teachers,
musicians and performers.
Art in Action runs from Thursday 19th of July to
Sunday 22nd of July inclusive from 10.00am - 5.30pm each day and takes
place at Waterperry House, Waterperry, Near Wheatley, Oxford, OX33 1JZ.
I went last year for the first time and now I can't wait to go again!
Update:
Well done to all the organisers of Art in Action for sorting out the car parking problems.
My faves this year are:
Penny Williams - really cute animal jewellery (I bought two pieces from her)
Sharon McSwiney - really cute animal jewellery (I really want the hare brooch)
The Earring Cafe - gorgeous lampwork beads in lovely juicy colours
Jo Downs - fused glass. I love her Cornish pilchard range
Graham Muir - glass artist. He makes beautiful waveforms
Layne Rowe - his glass blowing demonstration was amazing
