A Base Art Update!

What’s been going on with us?  LOTS!

I know we have been naughty and haven’t updated much over the last year – so our plan is to update our website and blog more often and post lots of writing, photos and even videos!    Bits about us, bits about our classes, bits about the studio – lots to get to grips with.

We have added an extra pottery class – as well as Tuesday mornings, Tuesday evenings and Thursday evenings, we have introduced a new Wednesday evening class!  Demand is quite high, which is great!

What else has been happening? Well, the building in which we have our studio, created more studio spaces and they have been filled by more ceramicists!  So the basement of the building is shared between 7 artists at the moment, possibly more in the future.

Lara and Sue spent most of last year preparing for their exhibition, which ran through October 2015.

Here are some photos of the excellent work produced by our students:

New and Old photos

One of our resident artists, Lara, has updated her blog and republished some photos.

“A few weeks ago I visited the Boy’s Village in Aberthaw again with my fiance.  We have been twice before, the second time we were told to leave by a burly guy in a black Merc so this time we were … wary to say the least!  But we still got some great photos of the place.  It was interesting to see how it had changed in such a short space of time – we were there only a few months ago, and it has decayed even during that time.

I’ve also republished my images of ‘Faded Glamour’ – an ongoing series of images from South Wales holiday destinations.  The series is ongoing as I have only included images from Porthcawl.

Here are some of the images I’ve added

Quick update :)

Hi everyone, it’s been all systems go this last week or so which is why we haven’t had a chance to post!!

Last Thursday we took the Valleys Kids art group to St. Fagans National History Museum with Anne (who runs the groups), with the intention of doing some sketching and photography.  It was great to be out ‘on the road’ with the group, and a nice change to be out experiencing the surroundings and trying something new.

Here are a selection of photos Sue took:

 

And some I took:

 

This week I’ve been stressing over a short-notice photography exhibition, Sue is in London for a few days, Liz has just got back from Scotland and Jan has been working so we haven’t been spending a lot of time on the studio (which is naughty I know!), but normal service should resume soon 🙂
