Our third guest artist this year is ceramacist Linda Claridge. Linda makes beautiful, colourful ceramic homewares. To see more of Linda's work visit us at venue 17 from the 6th to the 14th July at the Bennett Centre, Vicarage Street

Our next guest artist this year is Kay Dilley. Kay is a self-taught artist based in Frome. She has always been drawn to plants and liked to draw them. Kay used to think art had to push boundaries and make grand statements but has since realised it can simply be a way to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.

"I love wandering down to the market in Frome to choose a flower to draw then coming back to my home studio. I live in the attic of a Victorian School which is the perfect place to create. I like to think it’s were the ideas live."

Visit us at venue 17, The Bennett Centre, Vicarage Street from the 6th to the 14th July to see more of Kay's work.

At the Vicarage Street Gallery this year Stephanie Gay - Silk Artist will be showing some of the paintings from her recent ‘LUSH’ exhibition at Bristol’s Square Club. Come and visit us from the 6th to the 14th July - venue 17 of Frome Open Art Trail

This year at the Vicarage Street Gallery, we are welcoming three new guest artists/makers. The first of these is Jenny Raggett. Jenny Raggett is a decorative artist working at the Silk Mill in Frome.

Jenny trained as a biochemist and then as a technical author working in computer research and development. Having always loved painting and particularly colour and pattern, she remained a 'secret' artist for many years, painting at every opportunity in living rooms and garden sheds.
It had always been a dream to learn how to make decorated stained glass, and at last Jenny found a traditionally-trained stained-glass artist in Bristol to teach her the painting and firing techniques used in the production of church glass. With a delight in nature and flowers, she uses these techniques to create stained glass panels which have much in common in terms of design, colour and decorative elements, with her paintings.
Visit us at venue 17, The Bennett Centre, Vicarage Street, Frome from the 6th to the 14th July to see more of Jenny's work.
