h.Art @ St Mary's

This year SIXTEEN artists, including three exciting new exhibitors will be showcasing in the historic surroundings of Ross Parish Church. Sally Boehme, Vanessa Burley, Ruth Credland, Caroline Davies, Lisa Dear, Sarah Delahoy, Mary Deaville, Sian Gibbs, Wendy Healey, Catherine Lewis, Nina Oakman, Monique Oliver, Vanessa Rhead, John Sherahilo, Karen Tacey & Di Weissberg. You’ll find paintings in oil, mixed media, watercolour and alcohol. Also printmaking, jewellery, ceramics, glass, carvings, sculpture, gifts, cards and more. And of course, no visit would be complete without refreshments. Enjoy freshly brewed coffee or tea alongside a tempting selection of homemade cakes, with light lunches available on selected days. It’s the perfect excuse to pause, sit a while, soak up the atmosphere... and perhaps decide that you really do want to buy that piece after all! The church interior is flooded with natural light, creating an uplifting, tranquil setting. It’s sense of space and history make it a truly special venue for art; bringing together heritage and contemporary work in a way that feels both inspiring and welcoming. This year we have workshops taking place daily at 10.30am and 2.00pm. Please see www.rossparishes.uk/h-art for full details and booking (required for most workshops).
