We hope you are well and enjoying the beautiful weather (although we know Stephen has been in Spain!)
Firstly, thank you all for being a part of the Shed community.
As our community grows so does our reach and ability to connect with the public at large. In the past we have noticed that this engagement allows us to establish links with potential customers and also to inform and educate as well as provide inspiration for other artists and photographers. Our aim has always to be more than just a website; a place to connect the buying public and forging bonds in the artistic community. There is an inherent strength in numbers and the internet provides a basis for those invisible bonds to be established.
It is with this in mind, we have contacted some experts to come and either give a talk or a Masterclass over the two week exhibition.
Lovers on the Cobb by Rachael Talibart
On Sunday the 24th of August Rachael will talk on ‘Where land Meets Sea, techniques, literature and inspiration’ and Stephen will also be giving a 30 minute talk on ‘How to sell your photography through Social Media and Astrophotography techniques’ both talks followed by Q&A and a few glasses of wine.
Milky Way Arch above Lulworth Cove by Stephen Banks
Rachael has extensive experience in public speaking and Stephen’s work in PR and Marketing will give us an invaluable insight into how to reach the buying public.
During the course of the exhibition, Louise will give a class on ‘ Fast and loose techniques in water-colour painting’ and Greg will give a demonstration on ‘Painting the sea in an Impressionistic style’. Also Odile will give a class in her delightful plate painting technique and Paula will bring provide us with her inimitable style and flair throughout the exhibition showcasing techniques in print and mark making.
We’re delighted to be working with such diverse talent which adds depth and genuine interest in the exhibition and will hopefully lead to unexpected contacts made, commissions and sales.
Best Regards,
Chelsea and Ben
