'Charming exhibition from Linda Nevill at Wolverhampton’s Asylum Gallery' reviewed by Katherine Dixson

'I’ve just taken the opportunity to view printmaker Linda Nevill‘s Florilegium: my garden exhibition at the Asylum Gallery in Wolverhampton.  Tucked away up a side street in the Chapel Ash quarter, the single-garage-sized space is entirely white, letting the artwork tell its story in peace...'

Early weekend wake up for Wolverhampton yesterday

I wondered if anyone would get up yesterday morning as it was a very cold icy start to the day. Thick ice on the car windscreen. I was on the early shift at Bootstrap Artisans (artists and crafters' pop up shop co-op in Wolverhampton town centre) and there were people waiting outside the shop even before it opened!
It was a busy morning and it was good to see so many people wanting to buy original, handmade items rather than high street gifts.
One of my framed lino prints sold in the afternoon. My lino print cards of reindeer and Christmas cat are doing well too.

I yearn for the sea...

I yearn for the sea... and I live in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands!   This 'Stormy Seas' linoprint was created after sketching the sea on the beautiful Welsh coast. I then created a design, transfered it onto a piece of lino, 'carved' the lino, rolled ink onto the surface, placed Japanese printing paper on the top and printed it using my press in my studio.

 You can see this origninal, limited edition unframed lino print in the on-line art shop Artfinder
 https://www.artfinder.com/manage/linda-nevill/product/stormy-seas-original-lino-print/

or on sale framed in Bootstrap Artisans in the Mander Centre (Victoria Street entrance), Wolverhampton.

I've joined an art co-op

I've joined the Artists' co-op in Wolverhampton - Bootstrap Artisans.   The previously empty shop in the Mander Centre in central Wolverhampton is now full of art and craft items.   Members take turns to staff the shop on the rota and it's open on Sundays as well now.   I was on the rota yesterday and there was a steady stream of people coming into the shop.   It was great to hear all the positive comments and deal with the sales under the guidance of an experienced member - Driftwood Mick, who makes driftwood sculptures.  As we near Christmas it's getting busier and busier.

A couple of my Christmas cards!
