“Solis” comprises a small group of artists who met on the highly regarded Diploma course at Norfolk Painting School.
The very hands-on course specialised in oil painting, with an emphasis on studying the techniques of the Old Masters, through Impressionism, to key contemporary painters – with a view to applying these to personal styles.
So, all from the same stable, but with a diversity of approaches – the exhibition will be an eclectic mix, including abstract mixed media, portraiture, contemporary still lifes, plus land and seascapes. An interesting and colourful combination.

An exhibition of original artworks made by various hand printmaking methods. An original print is made by the artist working on a surface such as a woodblock or metal plate, and then printing from it in a way which further develops the expression of the final image.
Poole Printmakers is a co-operative of artists, both professionals and beginners, making a rich diversity of original prints such as etchings, linocuts and silkscreen prints. All the work benefits from a lively sharing of ideas and skills, as you can see in this exhibition.

Event Details
Stephen’s paintings are almost exclusively worked en plein air, in acrylics worked largely with a palette knife or watercolour. He produces both hand-built and wheel-thrown ceramics in his home studio pottery.
Holly explores the extremes of what textiles can be, by innovative and experimental work combining fibre with ceramic clays and acrylic media, and layering shadow embroidery on sheer fabrics with other works. Drawing is at the core of all her work.
They are hugely inspired by the unique coastlines of their home of Portland.

They say that every picture tells a story – packed with tantalisingly touchable textures, that is certainly the case with Jess’s felt pictures. Rich and vibrant in colour. Over the years, Jess’s felt making has caught many an eye in Cygnet Gallery, Swans Yard.
Being a Shaftesbury girl, her felted observations of the community life and the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside give scenes that we are all familiar with, a fresh burst of energy and originality.
