Sally Anne Fitter & Celia Wilkinson Outside and In

23 April - 4 June

Two artists showcasing a delight of

colour through still life collages and

acrylic landscapes.

Celia’s paintings are a personal response to

her surroundings and events in her life. They

have become a visual diary - hence the

change in tempo of some of the paintings.

Sally Anne Fitter’s still life collages are

stylish and vibrant. She works in acrylic

on canvas, layering and working into the

paint to create texture. Sally incorporates

collage and gold leaf into her paintings.

She uses vivid and rich colours, influenced

by her training as a textile designer.

Peter Layton 40 Years of Excellence in Glassmaking

The potential of glass, as an exciting medium for expressive art, has long been

under-appreciated. This is changing as studio glass artists become more

adventurous and as fine artists increasingly value its unique properties and

versatility and begin to utilise this extraordinary medium.

Peter Layton has done more than most to advance

the development of glass for artistic expression.

Peter, affectionately considered the ‘grand old

man’ of British glass will turn 80 next year. His studio,

London Glassblowing, among the first in Europe

is celebrating its 40th anniversary as a vibrant

creative hub. In the last 40 years scores of talented

glassmakers have worked under his tutelage,

producing incredible collaborative projects and

individual works of glass art.
