"Glad Tiding's" Our Christmas Exhibition
Starts on Saturday December 5th
“Glad Tidings”, the Christmas exhibition at Old Chapel Gallery, Pembridge, which opens on Saturday December 5, offers a sparkling line-up of 6 artists and craftspeople specially chosen with the imminent festive season in mind. Heading the line up are two prestigious artists with a strong local following. SEREN BELL with her popular pen, ink and coloured crayon drawings and JULIENNE BRAHAM with watercolours, both whose subject matters are of a pastoral nature. New to the gallery is calligrapher, CATRIN PETTS who will be showing some recent works including some interesting mobiles. Another new comer to the gallery is salt glaze potter, JASON BRAHAM. His pots are “once fired” in an oil and wood fuelled salt kiln. He likes his pots to have a generous feel to them, which invite touch and which are complemented by food and drink, so a must for the forthcoming festive season! Finally, no line up would be complete without a jeweller or two. CHRISSIE NASH takes her inspiration from her surroundings, the stunning Welsh scenery and the Black Mountains. She works in silver, gold and many semi precious stones including red sponge coral, black onyx, crystal and jasper. Each necklace is unique and eye-catching. ANYA KEELEY from Hereford, makes jewellery from found and recycled objects and also a delightful range of Christmas decorations to adorn your tree this Christmas. We will also have an irresistible display of hand made Christmas cards, candles, soaps and a choice of presents to suit all pockets. All chosen with a wonderful Christmas shopping experience in mind.
St Valentines Exhibition

Now, we look towards spring when ones fancy turns to love for St Valentines Day. We have some unusual and charming cards and presents for the love in your life. At Christmas Jan Fryer’s jewellery was a great success. We will be showing more pieces by her along with ever-popular silver jewellery by Louise Shotter, Louise Chesshire and Rozie Keogh. There will also be some interesting paper pieces and calligraphy by Catrin Petts in the form of mobiles, cards and framed pieces, some beautiful hand made heart shaped wooden boxes, “smooch” ceramics from Gwili pottery and some forged iron and copper bowls embossed with hearts.
David Haswell - Textured watercolours
David's intention is to create highly textured images of the Welsh landscape presented with contrast and bordering on the semi-abstract. The effect is achieved through a combination of textural work in acrylics, applied with a palette knife and overlays of deeply saturated pure watercolours from Italy.
