Truly Scrumptious Exhibition

Our next exhibition is almost upon us.... (opens on 12th June) So exciting, as I have wanted to do an exhibition along this kind of theme for ages and I can't wait until it opens. Everything is themed along delicious food, from cupcakes and sweeties to ice cream and more... Even the canapes at the Private View will be little cakes and I'm busy scouring car boots for lovely old plates to serve them on. There's 5 artists taking part so I'm going to try and give each a mention before we open, with a sneak preview of what will be in the exhibition.... Today it's Sheila Marshall who paints these amazing, iconic images of sweets and cakes...

Lovely bunnies

Having re-done our back yard to make it a bit nicer and definitely bunny proof (ie: to stop them eating all the plants!) we have reintroduced some of the bunnies that we like! These ceramic ones are made by Victoria Lovell and are perfectly safe for the garden being completely frost proof!

Book of Green

We are now in the forthcoming 'Book of Green'. This is a fab freebie Eco-directory, listing hundreds of green or eco-friendly businesses. It will be out in July and you can get a copy from the gallery once they are in.
What a fab idea!

Sculpture Bonanza

The sculpts are in and there are some beautiful pieces, see what you think! I love getting new work in and this exhibition is definitely exciting!

Glorious bunting

Our lovely admin assistant Jill is a whizz with a sewing machine and has made us some fantastic bunting for our yard.... looks lovely in the April sunshine...

mmm cakes and more....

I love finding new work and starting on a new exhibition, but this one simply has to be one of

the best... it's all centred around food... I can hear my tummy rumbling already. It's not on for a little while yet but I am working on all the publicity and press right now. Called 'Truly Scrumptious' there's cakes, sweets and more. Yum! Look at these lovely images which have come in from the artists, they just make me drool! I can't wait for the exhibtion to open now.

Sculpture: Imagination in the Gallery...

This Thursday evening sees the launch of our new exhibition, a veritable feast of sculpture! Borde Hill Garden have been running a sculpture trail for a number of years and last year we were lucky enough to take part by exhibiting some smaller sculptures in the gallery. This year Surrey Sculpture Society return with a new exhibition and trail.

Even before we opened the gallery I loved the sculpture trail, and always made an effort to attend. There is something almost magical about wandering through such a beautiful garden and coming across the stunning pieces of sculpture placed in it for the event. The gardeners and members of SSS really work hard to make sure the sculptures fit in with their surroundings and the results are always amazing. Last year I managed to sneak a break from the gallery and took a look around the garden during the Private View. This is always held in the early evening and when the weather is good, as it was last year, it is a great time of day to wander around.

This years Private View at the gallery is on Thursday 30th, from 5-7pm and visitors to the gallery PV can also gain entry to the garden private view between 6-7pm. Let's hope for lovely weather.... If you would like to attend just drop me an email.
