Artists in Residence
Different members of the Gloucestershire Society of Artists will be demonstrating each day, presenting a range of styles and media during the week.
This is a change from previously advertised.
Exhibition:
This display will highlight a collection of nature-inspired glass, mostly loaned by the Broadfield House Glass Museum, but will also include work from the Nature in Art collection.
A number of different techniques will be on show, demonstrating the wonderful variety of items and revealing how craftspeople have exploited the many qualities of glass to celebrate nature.
Melting Point will be on show until May 22nd.
Artist in Residence

Artist in Residence
Carole Bury is a textile artist living in Gloucestershire, who works from her studio in a small village in the Cotswolds.
‘The natural world has always fascinated me. As a textile artist I combine drawings, thoughts and stitches to record and respond to the essence of the natural world. The work I produce is quiet but with an inner energy that aims to engage and draw the viewer in, to notice things they may have overlooked.’
Exhibition:
This is Nature in Art’s first ever exhibition of stereoscopic (3-D) images, first invented in 1832 and now enjoying a revival.
You will be able to borrow some of our 3D glasses and go on a journey through the micro world, seeing things, as for the first time, in their true three dimensional form.
Discover a whole new way to see and enjoy the beauty in nature.
Small but Perfectly Formed will be on show until June 12th.

Artist in Residence
Dafila Scott is the daughter of the late Sir Peter Scott.
‘Most of my work is inspired by wildlife, figures and landscapes. It features animals or places with which I have become familiar. It includes both figurative wildlife paintings and abstract landscapes inspired by visits to Wales, the Kalahari and Antarctica. However, I’m equally happy to gain inspiration at home in the garden or on the surrounding fenland.’
