‘8 Artists from All Good Stuff’

I’m delighted to be taking part in Open Up Sheffield (a city wide event) for the first time this year, in a group exhibition at the historic Butcher Works Gallery in Sheffield City Centre. Butcher Works is a Grade II* listed restored cutlery factory in the heart of the Cultural Industries Quarter.

The other seven artists are: Alex McArthur* – painter, printmaker, Dave Vanderhoven – wood turner, furniture maker, Giedre Sadauskaite – textile artist, painter, illustrator, Gill Black – redesigned silver jewellery, Gill Cosford – polymer clay artist, Janine Barnsley* – hand forged silver jewellery and Rosie Butcher– pressed and dried flower artist.

We work in very different media and styles. Our inspiration comes from a variety of sources, including nature, ancient cultures and folk tales. What unites us? We are all members of All Good Stuff, a friendly cooperative of around 50 local artists and makers with a shop in the Butcher Works next door.

The All Good Stuff shop will be open throughout the exhibition. It is less than 10 minutes walk from Sheffield train station and there are great cafes close by (including the excellent Tamper just across the road).

Prints, paintings, cards, jewellery, textiles, polymer clay and wood work will be available to buy. Visitors will be able to watch demonstrations during the event (see our social media pages for details). Work-in-progress and materials will be on show.

Please call in, we look forward to welcoming you!

What a lovely weekend it was! The sun shone, the sky was blue and the gardens were looking fabulous. Delighted that a couple of my lino prints ‘Scarborough Swifts’ and a little painting were selected for the Open Exhibition in what has been described as ‘probably the largest art market in the North of England’.

The Victorian glass houses were full of wonderful art and there were so many tempting tents.

No red dots this time but felt honoured just to have been selected and a learning exercise for next time!

It was lovely to chat to the other artists and I did treat myself to a brilliant print from Sarah Josephs and a fantastic glass vase from Thomas Petit – something I’d been promising myself since last year’s Art in the Gardens.
