A Smile of Summer Sunshine
Our regular exciting and packed Summer Show, featuring work in jewellery, wood, metal, ceramics, glass, paper, textiles, paintings and prints. There will be work from artists which have never exhibited in the Gallery before, and regular favourites.
Telling Tales
To coincide with the Rye Festival, the Easton Rooms is showing the work of two fascinating and dramatic artists.
Janet Crosby has created a collection of work, which may or may not be based on true stories, actual occurrences or dreams.
David W Slack presents an alphabet of fact and fable, of portraits real and imagined, each large as life and twice as lovely.
"of night, and light and half light "
Denise Franklin, Keiran D'Arcy and Sarah Palmer join together to visually describe what they see when out walking in the countryside surrounding Rye, Fairlight and Hastings.
Furniture, sculptures, paintings, drawings and ceramics will be used to show the landscapes and seascapes at different times of the day.
Soft Sculpture
An Exploration of the Potential of Textile Techniques to Create Three-Dimensional Structures.
This is a project originally conceived towards the end of Simon’s time studying Textile Design at the University of Derby. The premise of the project was, and remains, to explore the potential of woven textile techniques to create three-dimensional forms, whilst retaining the qualities of softness and pliability usually associated with a woven fabric.
The project explores the possibility of traditional weave and finishing techniques to allow some of these structures to be self-supporting without recourse to either internal or external armature.
