Sarah Trowsdale Work in Progress
Exhibition // 30 January – 03 February // 10.00 – 17.00
After graduating from a MA in Textile Design at Chelsea College of Art with a scholarship from Sheepdrove Trust, Sarah was awarded the DYCP grant from Arts Council England to continue developing her art practice and research.
Her work begins with cultural and historical research which explores little known women through history who have been physically engaged in warfare, rebellions or acts of aggression against oppressors. Using this information, Sarah created dynamic art quilts representing them.
Now part way through her project, join Sarah as she shares her progress so far.

Out of Isolation
Exhibition // 27 February – 03 March // 10.00 – 17.00
Mixed media artist Charlie Lee started this series of doodle and drawings during lockdown. Doodling became her way to avoid, and stay at home allowing her to journey on paper to unplanned and unknown places.
Soon her daily drawings became as ritualistic as her daily walks and not long after she had created a curious trail of silky touch, ultra bright, multi-functioning eco office paper around the house, adorned with drawings and snatches of thought.
