The Gallery & The Event!
On Sunday the 30th June I was one of three creative people asked to be present at Ga11ery Eleven (Filey) to talk to and discuss our work with the visitors. The Gallery is situated in a separate room inside a family run Post Office; it is a light space helped by the wonderfully tall elaborate windows and is full with an eclectic mix of work and treasures. The event itself was arranged by the very lovely Fiona Clibbens co-owner of the Post Office who also manages the Gallery and creates a lot of the artwork herself.
Other Creative People!
Peggy Fairburn
is based in Beverley and creates patchwork and quilting was also present
exhibiting her creations. She too is a charming lady who is very interesting to
talk to; her work which takes many hours of painstaking attentiveness is equal in
beauty and charm. Alongside her finished pieces she also had swatches available
to show the different stages of creation to the visitors. Her work is available
to purchase via Ga11ery Eleven and on her website.
I also met Claire Hall an author who was there to
sign her new book: Mephisto: Friends, Family & Feathers. The main character
in her book is a cat named Mephisto:
“In the course of his daily computer time, Mephisto uncovers
events that affect him and his community. Things begin to turn darker when a
provider (human) he feels close to is found dead in some fly-tipped rubbish. To
make matters worse, the longstanding truce with the rats in in danger of
collapse. Using his skills Mephisto sets about helping the providers uncover
who is responsible.”
Claire known on her book cover as EJC Hall is also a lovely
and interesting lady to talk to. Her book can be purchased via Ga11ery Eleven
and also through Amazon Kindle or Amazon Paperback.
All in all I had a lovely day, the sun was shining, I made a
few sales, I met some really lovely people and now I am also stocking Ga11ery
Eleven in Filey!
