Ashbourne Festival Fringe Event
An exhibition of alternative work by our artists in the Festival Summer Exhibition
Our Fringe Event is an exhibition of alternative work by our artists who have been invited to take part in the annual Ashbourne Festival Summer Exhibition, i.e. Ian Palmer, Louise Jannetta and Paul Freeman.
from Saturday June18th at 10:00-4:00pm
until the exhibition ends on July 2nd
Local sculptor Ian Palmer‘s Working Men Cycle was inspired by photos from the early 1900s of family members and friends in the Black Country. He creates his copper and ceramic figures using the raku firing method.
Versatile Buxton artist Louise Jannetta charms with her clever use of colour and creating interesting textures in her range of paintings, collagraphs and prints.
Paul Freeman, new to our stable of artists, has made his mark with his beautiful, atmospheric landscapes inspired by his native Yorkshire landscape.
We are excited to include two newcomers, Wedgwood Steventon whose work combines photography, painting and collage and Bethan Nadin, PDA Young Emerging Artist Award Winner 2021.
