Two New Exhibitions Starting This Week

Caistor Through the Lens

The exhibition is in our Cafe Gallery. These are photographs by a group of locals who have been learning The Photo-Haiku Method with the support of local photographer Stewart Wall.

It is on NOW… until the Tuesday 4th June 2024.

The Photo-Haiku Method has been designed by Stewart Wall and is a powerful workflow usually used whilst on a Ginko (Photo-walk) to produce powerful and personal photography with an aim to create photo-haiku projects for photobooks and zines.

Potter Through a Lincolnshire Landscape.

The exhibition in our Gallery Room is by a Trio of artists:

The Little Acorn Pottery, Karen Dziuba Art & Tim Freer Art

 This exhibition runs from 19th April through to 5th June 2024

The Little Acorn Pottery, as the name suggests, will be exhibiting and selling pottery ranging from decorative displays to functional ware i.e., mugs, yarn bowls, plant pots etc. All the items are handmade using a potter’s wheel or hand building techniques. The artists inspiration for her Spring 2024 collection is the flourishing frenzy of Spring.

Karen Dziuba Art, is art in textile and paint, showing sunset landscapes based on the Lincolnshire countryside. They will sit well with The Little Acorn Pottery’s work. In addition to the above work Karen will be showing brand new works that explore light and atmosphere in everyday situations

Tim Freer Art. Tim had not picked up a paintbrush or pencil for 35 years, until a change in circumstances and a move to Lincolnshire. This has inspired his love of art again. His works are now based on the resident wildlife, in particular British birds, hares & foxes

There will be a preview evening on Thursday the 18th June from 6pm – 8pm, where you will be able to meet all three of the artists.
