John Parrey

The fish are all individual although I always use local english oak for the body, inlay hickory for the spots, boxwood for the lighter colour of the eyes and usually bamboo for the teeth.
They are all numbered on sterling silver tags hanging from the tails. They range from 20 to 58 inches long and are priced from £175 to £1400+.
I enjoy working in all natural materials, especially wood and metal. My main influences are medieval and renaissance objects and art and I try to capture character, life and a timeless quality in all my pieces

Arlington Arts Exhibition

The Space Between.
I'm exhibiting some of my bags at Arlington Arts, the title of show above. The Space Between, could or can mean anything so I thought I'd have a go at some weaving with leather, which I will never do again because it took me aaaages. I took a couple of pictures during my endurance, but forgot to take a photo of the finished bag. So you'll have to go to Arlington Arts venue to see it, plus the rest of the exhibition, which is open from the 7th to the 29th June. Well worth a visit and set in some lovely surroundings.

Sue Diffey

Sue Diffey
Medium: Oils, printmaking, drawing, mixed media.
My current interest lies in exploring spacial
sequences using humble and sometimes repetitive forms; the juxtaposition between stillness and energy, where emptiness is form and form is emptiness. In Quantum Physics even a stationary form or object contains energy which is
locked within its atoms. This contained, pure energy is not fixed or determined but in a continual state of flux between matter and anti-matter; perfectly counter-balanced and identical as a mirror image.
Sue Diffey was tutored by
the late Cecil Collins at Central St.Martins in the 1970’s and her life drawing
studies have also developed directly from honoring this energy and stillness.

If you live in Caversham and are thinking of visiting, it would be great, if it's not too far, to walk here. Refreshments will be available for the thirsty! If you're driving, there is parking on Gosbrook road by the park, either side of the road, 2 hr parking on Falkland rd, i think!Parking in Elliots way, that;s the next road down. Also there is the car park in Caversham, the lower part is best as it's independant of waitrose. Maybe a bit of shopping first! There is a car park on George street and a lovely 10min walk a long the River Thames and across the park. To look at the map , scroll down.
