Art
Easter Sculpture Festival and Quilting Exhibition
- Artists
- Lucianne Lassalle
Sumptuous quilts in jewelled colours, stained glass sailing boats drifting through sea glass, a bronze Rambeaux with attitude, calligraphy inspired ceramics, and quirky foliage sculptures swaying in the breeze are just a few of the highlights of this year’s Festival.
Nicholas Wray, Curator of the Botanic Garden, says: “The natural world has inspired artists to make the varied and innovative pieces of work that will be displayed at the festival. I am delighted that the Garden environment has provided the opportunity for these local artists to display their work. Some of the methods the artists use will be demonstrated during the exhibition which, together with the Garden bursting into life, will create the perfect environment for visitors to enjoy.”
Demonstrations of pottery, stained glass and willow weaving give visitors a chance to meet the artists and see how they work. A display of Narcissus, illustrating all horticultural groups of this colourful spring flower, forms a trail through the garden.
Refreshments, tours, plants and book sales.
10am-5pm daily. Adults £6/friends, university staff and students, and under 18s free.
