Not that my posts here have ever been very frequent I'm afraid.<br />
The thing is, I have moved - to Norfolk, just over a year ago now, which is absolutely lovely ...<br />

However, the downside is that I'm not able to pop into our favourite fabulous art emporium as often as I used to, so we've decided its time to wind up the blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But, for much more up-to-date news on what's happening you can check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ArtVanGo/">Facebook</a>, and there's a new look website <a href="http://www.vycombe-arts.co.uk/">HERE</a>, (where you can now shop online!) and of course you can sign up for email newsletters, for all the latest on workshops, exhibitions and other exciting events (sign up on the homepage of the website)</div>
<br />
So, sorry I'm not been very active here, but I just wanted to say a belated goodbye from me, and to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy,and healthy New Year!<br />

Myself and my friend Lynn live miles apart and consequently don't see each other that often, but now and again we take the opportunity to book onto a workshop at Art VanGo to have a lovely day being creative and catching up. So, on Wednesday we joined some other lucky ladies to take part in a machine embroidery workshop led by Alex Waylett.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a bonus, we only needed to take our machines and threads, as Alex supplied a huge rainbow of fabulous fabrics, not to mention extra threads for us to use and glitz in the form of sequin and beads etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Firstly we chose our fabrics, then snipped, layered and machine stitched, using zig zag and automatic patterns. We then made the resulting sumptuous fabric into little freestanding 'boxes' </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If that wasn't enough, we went on to make cards with the 'offcuts' - I think the first two are mine and the third is Lynn's but don't sue me if I'm wrong!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you missed it, the good news is that Alex has two more workshops coming up in May, and if you're quick there are still some spaces. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first one is on Friday 8th May - entitled 'Pebbles' </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
click <a href="http://www.vycombe-arts.co.uk/workshops.html">HERE</a> for more details </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and the second one, on the following Friday 15th May - 'Embroidered Clutch bags'.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As an example, here are some beautiful bags made by the ladies of North Herts and Beds Embroiderers' Guild under Alex's guidance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTzVHvAGBiLqZuvUs0MnUenfijj0qctDJUGCFF5h2wuf6J2mISWkrcaOB5Jf4bUi_KIRAalBmolXVlwV1qcxGcbpDIsBBMQzrdltyWpqfANbOe5tgX6wI7vQ-jFTgffyPrp9thldw_hds/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTzVHvAGBiLqZuvUs0MnUenfijj0qctDJUGCFF5h2wuf6J2mISWkrcaOB5Jf4bUi_KIRAalBmolXVlwV1qcxGcbpDIsBBMQzrdltyWpqfANbOe5tgX6wI7vQ-jFTgffyPrp9thldw_hds/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
AND, if you decide to book onto both workshops, you can use the 'Pebbles' fabric made in the first workshop to construct into a clutch bag the following Friday, and then you'll end up with something like this</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mine's the one with the pink heart, surprise surprise. I don't have much call for an evening bag, but it looks SO pretty left on the shelf (much like me.)</div>

formed in September 2011, meeting monthly at Jen’s home in Ealing, London W5.
They are four friends who met through workshops at Art Van Go. </div>

They say ..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
"We wanted to
develop our work with monthly workshops under the guidance of a tutor and were
fortunate to have an outstanding tutor, Amarjeet Nandhra, agree to work with
us. Amarjeet is a well-known textile artist who, with Dawn Thorne, runs the
Windsor School of Textile Art in Bracknell.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As a group we have
grown in confidence and are beginning to find our own voices. Our work uses varied approaches and
techniques, many learnt during workshops taken at Art Van Go. Amarjeet challenges us, as we challenge
ourselves. The diversity of our work, demonstrates an exploration of mixed
media whilst trying to push our personal boundaries"<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I don't have any images for you - but having seen the work of these textile artists in the past - come along, you are in for a treat!</div>

A few weeks ago, my friend Lynn, as mentioned in previous post, and I attended a lovely machine embroidery workshop entitled 'Stitches and Doodles' with tutor Gina Ferrari a few weeks ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(See more of Gina's work on her blog <a href="http://ginaferrari.blogspot.co.uk/">HERE</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(I did mean to post pictures of it straight away, but you know how it is.....)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gina showed us examples of the things we could achieve with the machine 'doodling' technique she was showing us. The notebooks would make fab gifts for arty friends -</div>

The students were wide ranging in Machine Embroidery experience - my friend Lynn, as a couple of others, had done little or no machine embroidery, and there were others who had done loads - but trust me, you always learn something new from Gina. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of Gina demonstating Machine Embroidery - she must have been unusually camera shy, so I'll have to use this recent off-duty photo of her -</div>

As you may have seen in the current workshop programme, we are currently hosting an exhibition of work by Spectrum - a group of textile artists mentored by one of our popular tutors, <a href="http://ginaferrari.blogspot.co.uk/">Gina Ferrari</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday afternoon they held an afternoon tea party private view in the gallery</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was a real buzz all afternoon, with lots of great comments about the work, so if you are passing do call in and see the exhibition. And in case you are unable to get here, here's a very small selection of the work </div>

Just a reminder to everyone that we will, of course, be at the forthcoming Knitting and Stitching shows at Ally Pally, Dublin and Harrogate, so if there's anything specific that you'd like us to bring, just give us a call in the shop a few days before and we can put it aside for you at the show. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Incidentally, have you ever wondered what the gallery looks like when we are preparing for the Knitting and Stitching Shows. Well, even if you haven't I'm going to show you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mmm, not quite looking at it's best. Unlike Viv, who always looks lovely, even when she's got her "where the-****-do-I-start" face on.</div>

Anyway, rest assurred that all of the AVG crew are frantically getting ready for the first round of the <b>Knitting and Stitching Shows, at Alexandra Palace from Thurs 10th - Sun 13th October</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you've been to the Knitting and Stitching Shows in either Dublin or Harrogate in the past few years you will probably already have come across the Artists in Action feature. And for those who haven't, here's an explanation of what it's about.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Artists in Action</span></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
First introduced to
the Knitting & Stitching Show at the NEC in 2008, the Artists in Action
Studio has become a regular feature of the <st1:city w:st="on">Dublin</st1:city>
and <st1:place w:st="on">Harrogate</st1:place> shows. The concept is to show practicing artists at
work, as though in their own studio, so visitors can catch a glimpse of the
artists’ journey from initial idea through to resolved body of work. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Each artist will have
their own area within The Studio – three in Dublin and six in Harrogate – with white wall space to display ‘work in progress’ as
well as finished pieces. They may be in
residence for the duration of the show, or they may use a space for just one or
two days, but the timetable will reflect an exciting range of creative disciplines
such as fabric painting, dyeing, printing, papermaking, fabric construction,
mixed-media and stitch. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The artists - some of
whom you will know as established tutors or exhibiting artists, some as
new-comers to the show - will be examining options, exploring ideas and working
through processes. Inspiration could
come from previously worked themes, from their own sketchbooks and source
material, or even from other artists in the Studio and the materials
provided. Programme
in several visits to the Artists in Action
Studio during your day and you will be able to observe the developments, as well as learning about methods, materials and
techniques. By displaying their
personal working methods the artists hope to encourage a better understanding
of the artistic flow, including those inevitable (but vitally important)
rejected ideas, as the creative journey follows its twists and turns. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Artists involved in
Dublin include:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So, hope to see lots of you at the Shows - but if you can't get there and are local to the Studio, do call in to see the current exhibition of largely botanical work by <b>SHULI HAN </b>running until Sat 26th October.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Shuli Han, from Shanghai, China has been living in Knebworth for about six years. She is a member of the Herts Visual Forum and trained in China as an architect, but her first love3 has always been painting. She will be in residence in the Gallery on Saturday 12th October.</div>

If you are a regular reader of the Art Van Go newsletters, you'll be aware that there was a "Gathering" in the gallery for the past couple of days. No, it's not a secret rendezvous of an obscure cult, or a religious meeting - it's what Kevin decided to call a group of artists, all working away in the Studio, demonstrating their techniques and chatting to visitors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although the Studio has an artist "In Residence" from time to time, this is the first time that there has been a entire palette of them. </div>

It was a really great event, with lots of positive comments from all of the visitors, and the artists themselves all enjoyed it, so I'm sure it won't be long before there's something similar arranged. If you weren't lucky enough to get along this time, I recommend you try to come along to any future events.</div>

I called into AVG yesterday on my way past after hours. I mean, I rang the doorbell, I didn't break in or anything! Not only were Viv and Kevin still there, but Bobby Britnell was there after the first day of her late Summer School. I took a sneaky photo of the work so far ...</div>

The students did some drawings from a still life, and then added tone and pattern.</div>

They are going to select a small area to make print blocks which will then be printed onto paper, and later fabric before finally being hand stitched.</div>

I also had a look at the current exhibition in the gallery 'Making Stories' which is on now until 20th October.</div>

In case you didn't already know, the new Summer/Autumn Workshop programme is out, and AVG staff are currently poised to take your bookings. Well, actually, not at this <u>very</u> moment, as it's Sunday afternoon, and even Art Van Go staff are allowed a couple of hours off on a Sunday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first workshop is this coming Wednesday and Thursday, 4th and 5th of September, and there are still some spaces available! Make the most of this opportunity - Lynda's classes are always very popular and this one sounds very exciting - using thermofax screens, masks and stencils with various mediums to create a small book. Having enjoyed previous classes with Lynda Monk, (and loving little books) I would definitely be booking this workshop myself, but I have tickets for the Paralympics on Wednesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you like to see some examples of Lynda's work, check out her blog <a href="http://purplemissus.blogspot.co.uk/">here</a> and, if you haven't used thermofax screens before, they are a really easy way to try screen printing, and Lynda brings a huge selection for students to use.</div>
Highly recommended!<br />

There will be some of her work for sale in the gallery, and hopefully a workshop in the next programme. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXW7K_D2cjTvOh8d66VGplZcUNX-TvT5fDqEMm2TccKc8Q0Tm0mu-WHb5IuY_qH9Z5wXAqPpyc1xhQBcCQujLBz_hmAmjg5m9pHWkfKVYCUVQfEduTSXRFC9dqg-4bMXD2oB-b_81rdYc/s1600/painted+stones+collage+2+small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXW7K_D2cjTvOh8d66VGplZcUNX-TvT5fDqEMm2TccKc8Q0Tm0mu-WHb5IuY_qH9Z5wXAqPpyc1xhQBcCQujLBz_hmAmjg5m9pHWkfKVYCUVQfEduTSXRFC9dqg-4bMXD2oB-b_81rdYc/s400/painted+stones+collage+2+small.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br />

I arrived just in time to see the results of what had obviously been a wonderful two day workshop run by Frances Pickering, entitled A Few of My Favourite Things - there were some really beautiful books and it seemed as if everyone had been really productive. Sorry there's no photos, I didn't have my camera with me.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, I did have my camera last week, when I took part in a two day workshop with Lynda Monk called Scrim, Screens and Scrappy Bits. We all had a brilliant time, printing through thermofax screens on scrim and Lutrador and pelmet vilene, bonding various layers together and even managing to fit in a bit of stitch, before painting the resulting gorgeously textured surfaces. As you can see, everyone was far too busy to turn to turn and pose for photos</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi79llVcCTsORZfuJmYi_dmuF36ZJjI6ikYKMU8SMx349TV_p9UQsziXYjd-6EAd9wsW78an2XpqFilWo_n6IvSRbha-KxS0va2IECpyySV2o33aGfHzwGBCVj1y1PwdBX0mN_tkiN11kQ/s1600/lm2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi79llVcCTsORZfuJmYi_dmuF36ZJjI6ikYKMU8SMx349TV_p9UQsziXYjd-6EAd9wsW78an2XpqFilWo_n6IvSRbha-KxS0va2IECpyySV2o33aGfHzwGBCVj1y1PwdBX0mN_tkiN11kQ/s400/lm2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here are some of Lynda's fabulous examples and inspiration .. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ7matDjmldHCBeuBzXpTrCa7RrU6dYlvkf9a7PN5z97WQMgE50z5R7bksQwbXWBq0GGNT9u40qhTc6tJEJrgJCsdv11G6tyTha1_2XI4yNZiE32ZHwMJwHs85s46NTOUlo-8nmYK820g/s1600/lm1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ7matDjmldHCBeuBzXpTrCa7RrU6dYlvkf9a7PN5z97WQMgE50z5R7bksQwbXWBq0GGNT9u40qhTc6tJEJrgJCsdv11G6tyTha1_2XI4yNZiE32ZHwMJwHs85s46NTOUlo-8nmYK820g/s400/lm1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
