Exhibitions

LET THEM EAT CAKE

Dave Elsom of Sombrero Printmaking shows work produced during the pandemic, including "lockdown lino prints". There's also a feature on food poverty, using digital artworks and a food collection point for Chesterfield College’s ‘food pantry’, which supports students in need. This is Dave's second solo exhibition at West Studios, which will showcase his passion for printmaking and his use of a wide range of creative styles.

The exhibition will run from Monday 7th - Friday 25th February.

The exhibition is available to view Monday - Friday until Friday 25th February. The exhibition is also available to view between 5pm & 7pm on Monday 7th February & Monday 14th February. Dave will also be present during those evening slots to talk to visitors about his exhibition.

MAKING TIME
Time can mean many things; the time it takes to study and train to develop knowledge and skills, the time we give to making, wider concepts of time passing, the idea of setting time aside for something important or even of having too much time on our hands. Over the last two years, time has seemed to stretch and contract in sometimes disconcerting ways, Covid gave us more time to spare but also stole our time with family and friends.

Making Time is the first group show of new work by a collection of experienced textile artists who meet regularly to explore their love of textile related work in a supportive but challenging environment. They work with tutor and mentor Sarah Burgess to develop their ideas and push the boundaries of their practice.
