We’ve got loads going on this November with plenty to keep you entertained this Autumn. Here’s a snapshot of what to look forward to this month at Colonnade House.
Sussex Printmakers : Ink
5 – 17 November // 10.00 – 17.00 // closed Mondays
Late opening event Thursday 7 November 18.30 – 20.00
Find all your favourite printmakers in one place at the latest Ink exhibition. From Rosemary Jones’s graphic linocuts of local landscapes to Shona Macdonald’s collagraphs of crows and Ed Watts’s dinosaur invasion of Worthing there is something for everyone in this show. This exhibition kicks off a month that has more than a little early Christmas sparkle about it, with plenty of ideas for gifts and opportunities to join us for late opening events, starting with Ink on Thursday 7 November – hope to see you there!
Fairy Tale Fair : Just Daydreaming
19 – 24 November // 10.00 – 17.00 // Free entry
Late opening event Thursday 21 November 18.00 – 20.00
Getting distinctly Christmassy, the Fairy Tale Fair returns with their latest collection of work by popular local makers including Hello Dodo, Sarah Edmonds and We are Mountain, and with sponsorship from local restaurant Pitch their late opening event will be one not to miss!
Michelle Dawson
19 – 24 November // 10.00 – 17.00 // Free entry
Keeping it local, Michelle’s lively drawings are always popular, and if you have a view in mind she is happy to take commissions. As well as cards and prints for sale, she will have a live drawing project running all week in the gallery creating large scale drawings that will build an inky collage of Worthing on the walls. Michelle also runs classes throughout the year – hey that’s a nice idea for a present!
John Evans & Janet Branscombe: Oil and Fire in Flux
26 November – 8 December // 10.00 – 17.00 // Closed Mondays
Flowing shapes and textured surfaces are here to be explored through the work of these three artists and friends. John Evans, a ceramicist, uses naked clay – no glaze – techniques to mark his work. Janet Branscombe, a painter and sculptor, celebrates the body in oil paintings and drawings and Brian Tew creates ceramic forms and digital compositions that are unplanned, intuitive and eclectic, and sometimes resemble artefacts from ancient civilisations.
For everyone who enjoyed their previous show here two years ago, you will find that these artists have explored new avenues in their work. If you haven’t yet discovered them, this is your chance to enjoy.
