Peace Pole in Ross Community Gardens....

21/10/2020

The Peace pole project was initailly organised by Tim Shelley the manager of the Haygrove Community Garden (www.haygrove.com) Made in Ross is pleased to say that Tim has taken delivery of our contribution to this project.

Our peace pole was decorated over the Spring and Summer when the gallery was closed, and finished off when we re-opened by a small team of artists from the Made in Ross collective, Jackie Poulter, Louise Pilditch, Eleanor Kercher, Annabel Neilson and Frances Warren.
Louise researched the folk lore and images
which were integrated onto the pole with words of peace. All together the poles were to display 100 languages. Of those 100 we were allocated Chinese, Russian Filipino and Ruandi to create designs for.
As we are based in Ross we decided to include a number of hedgehogs in the design. The pole is topped off with a cheerful cap of bouncing hedgehogs created by Eleanor Kercher, a green woodworker member.

From the basic wood pole to a finished decorated Peace Pole.

Guest Artists Life As We See It - November 2019

6/11/2019

LIFE AS WE SEE IT - IN THE CENTRE OF ROSS-ON-WYE

For the first time ever an exhibition of portraits and paintings of the human form will be on show at Made in Ross in the Market House, Ross-on-Wye starting next Sunday alongside the beautiful and varied work of the Made in Ross artist’s cooperative.

The exhibition will showcase work by members of a Life Class tutored by Angela Palmer at Brockweir in the Wye Valley. The show is entitled “Life As We See It” and has been held annually for the past 20 years in various venues, most recently Taurus Crafts in Lydney.

This talented group of artists enjoy working by observation directly from a life model. The challenge which this presents makes this possibly the most difficult one an artist can attempt, but it can also be the most rewarding as something of the humanity and character of the sitter gives the work an energy sometimes lacking in paintings done from photographs.

The artists use many different media to portray the human figure with techniques including painting in oils, impressionistic mixed media work and exquisite pencil drawing.

There will also be some sculpture on show made by clay modelling from life, in short something for everyone.

The exhibition will be held at Made in Ross upstairs in the Market House in the centre of Ross-on-Wye. It begins on Sunday 27th October and continues until Saturday 9th November and is open daily from 10am to 4pm. Admission is free and most of the work will be for sale. Made in Ross Gallery is accessible from street level via a lift.
For information about the Life Class please go to www.angelapalmerart.com

Guest Artist - October 2019

30/9/2019

Janice made her first quilt [4” squares on point] in 1968 in California USA but not because of Amercian influences: she states..."I was using up left-over dress-making materials!"

The seed was sown, and in the 1980s, whilst living in North Devon, she attended a 6 week patchwork course, making a sampler quilt. After another time gap, Janice found herself living in Herefordshire and belonging to Archenfield Quilters. From this point forwards her experience and expertise have developed.

She enjoys hand quilting and rarely machine quilts.
More recently she has learnt to spin and weave and plans to develop these skills further.
